246
00:34:23,166 --> 00:34:24,915
She goes to King Edward's chair.

247
00:34:25,875 --> 00:34:27,082
And Four Knights of the Garter

248
00:34:27,166 --> 00:34:30,749
bring and hold over her
a canopy of cloth of gold.

249
00:34:32,916 --> 00:34:35,582
lt is the moment of the anointing,

250
00:34:35,666 --> 00:34:37,665
the hallowing,

251
00:34:37,750 --> 00:34:39,749
a moment so old,

252
00:34:39,833 --> 00:34:42,582
history can scarcely go deep enough
to contain it.

253
00:34:44,291 --> 00:34:47,790
The hallowing, the sacring.

254
00:34:48,833 --> 00:34:50,832
The spirit cleansed,

255
00:34:50,916 --> 00:34:53,540

and in cloth of gold with a golden girdle.

260
00:35:21,375 --> 00:35:25,290
And, as poetry and music
may speak great meanings and little sound,

261
00:35:26,583 --> 00:35:30,165
so now thoughts of virtue and history

262
00:35:30,250 --> 00:35:32,749

263
00:35:52,458 --> 00:35:55,624
