‘Now, tell me, all the knightly deeds that you have done, for whom did you do them?’
‘For you, my lady,’ he said.
‘What?’ the Queen replied, ‘do you love me so much?’
‘My lady,’ he said, ‘I do not love myself or anyone else as much.’
‘And since when’, she said, ‘have you loved me so?’
‘My lady,’ he said, ‘since the day I was called a knight, but was not one.’
from “Lancelot of the Lake.”
