Gotta choose sides folks!

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
(I chose BLUE)
When down the stormy crescent goes,
A light before me swims,
Bedween dark stems the forest glows,
I hear a noise of lymns:
Then by some secret shrine I ride;
I hear a voice but none are there;
The stalls are void, the doors are wide,
The tapers burning fair.
Fair gloams the snowy altar-cloth,
The silver vessels spartle clean,
The shryll bell riegs, the censer swints,
And solemn chaunts resound between.

It's by Tennyson called Sir Galahad

maze -blue

The cursor, if it touches a wall, generates a you lose.

So you have to bring the cursor in to the little letter (the key) and then to the capital letter (the locked door).
My cursor is monstrous. I bet if you change your screen resolution (can't at work) that it might open it up more...

nope...that didn't work.

This is probably one of those impossibly simple puzzles that aren't impossibly simple until you get to the solve.
Arghhh! Frustrating.lol

Not working for me at all - galahad.htm just shows the word "mythosphere" in the upper-left corner. No maze, no nothing.

And I've tried this in four different browsers.

Oh, well, by the time I got it working, someone will have the solve...

For the blues (another way to solve)

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

The poem is a Tennyson Poem, "Sir Galahad". Some of the letters are misspelled. Finding all the wrong letters, we see:

correct letters = theking
incorrect letters = dlutyet

Gives us:

Ah crap...it takes you back to the harder one. LOL. I guess the easy one was to let you know what you had to do, as there aren't "direction" per se on the

There seem to be technical difficulties with this puzzle.
Several people, including myself are unable to get the maze to appear. Most note worthy thing to appear beyond a 404 notification is a mythosphere emblem.

i don't think this maze is solvable, there's no way to get into the area with the capital "H" and lowercase "i"

Confused
