Graves (see Sources) - "Happiness. The symbolism here is of that which has been long awaited, the arrival of one (who appears to be the reader) heralded by the garland of flowers welcoming the weary traveler. He (or you) has finally made it to where he had so long desired to be. The castle is there and the drawbridge is across the moat, as further invitation to that which is his at last." (Graves, p. 71)
