a sparkling drop in the great blue motion of the sunlit sea

PELLINORE: Arthur...?
ARTHUR: Give me the sword.
PELLINORE: Here.
ARTHUR: Kneel, Tom. Kneel! With this sword, Excalibur, I knight you Sir Tom of Warwick. And I command you to return home and carry out my orders.
TOM: Yes, Milord.
PELLINORE: What are you doing, Arthur? You have a battle to fight.
ARTHUR: Battle? I've won my battle, Pelly. Here's my victory! What we did will be remembered. You'll see, Pelly. Now, run, Sir Tom! Behind the line!
PELLINORE: Arthur? Who is that, Arthur?
ARTHUR: One of what we all are, Pelly. Less than a drop in the great blue motion of the sunlit sea. But it seems some of the drops sparkle, Pelly. Some of them do sparkle!
Run, boy!
