Summary

"Graham's Magazine, Vol. XXXI, No. 6, December 1847" by Various is a diverse assortment of 19th-century literature, containing both fictional and non-fictional writings, including verse and prose. One tale, "Love’s Last Supper," presents a sentimental journey into a romance in old Provence, telling the story of Guillaume de Cabestaign, a talented singer, and his hidden love for Lady Marguerite, and emphasizes the concepts of strong emotions, respect, and personal cost. The story starts by describing the code of conduct and emotional way of thinking that shaped love back when wandering minstrels were common. Guillaume, a gifted yet poor artist dedicated to Raymond, the Lord of Roussillon, attracts the attention of Lady Marguerite, which sets off a chain of events relating to their secret relationship and the norms of their society. The heartfelt but risky relationship faces possible jealous enemies and social restrictions, leading to a sorrowful outcome for love.
