...body of a dead mariner and pulls him down to the sea floor. However, Burne-Jones's subject matter expands beyond Rossetti's obsession with women. During a time of intense popular interest in the legend of King Arthur, Burne-Jones spent many hours drawing the head of Sir Galahad. And particularly knowledgeable in Greek mythology, he undertook to illustrate the story of Cupid and Psyche for William Morris. It was from Burne-Jones that the French symbolists (shown in the last room of the exhibition) and particularly Gustave Moreau, took their inspiration...
...little below the salt. He had his studio at-homes, but those who came to scoff his scones did not remain to pay for his pictures. Briefly he joined the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. But how could his neat landscapes compete with the bogus medievalism of Burne-Jones' Sir Galahad or the religiosity of Holman Hunt's The Light of the World, in which a mournful schoolmaster wearing a mortarboard of thorns drew devout thousands to the doors of British and U.S. museums...
Groovy's closest friend, Galahad, who once ran a communal crash pad (dormitory), muttered about revenge and then, at Groovy's funeral in Pawtucket, R.I., played a turned-on taps on his dead friend's harmonica.

Researcher Katie Kelly decided to disguise herself as a hippie wearing, in various combinations, faded old Nebraska Levi's, a red minidress and an unwashed London Fog raincoat. Surveying Galahad's Pad in the East Village for color picture possibilities, Andrea Svedberg had her arms ornamented hippie style with Day-Glo paints. San Francisco Bureau Chief Judson Gooding was gauche enough to wear a suit and tie to a celebration in Golden Gate Park, and was suspected of being...
...gooders are the Diggers; named for a 17th century society of English agricultural altruists, the latter-day Diggers provide free food, shelter and transportation for down-and-out hippies in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Boston and the East Village (where a Digger with the nom de hip of Galahad maintains a crowded "crash" pad and returns runaways to their parents). San Francisco alone has such drug-derived service organizations as HALO (Haight-Ashbury Legal Organization), the HIP Job Coop, with 6,000 names on its part-time employment roster, and Huckleberry's (homes for runaways). In Los Angeles...
