Idylls of the KingCourier Corporation, 5. 3. 2012 - Počet stran: 304 With Idylls of the King, one of the giants of Victorian literature turned his considerable talents to the chivalric lore surrounding a larger-than-life British ruler, King Arthur. Alfred, Lord Tennyson, cast his interpretation of Arthurian myth into the form of an epic poem, and his tales of Camelot soar to remarkable imaginative heights to trace the birth of a king; the founding, fellowship, and decline of the Round Table; and the king's inevitable departure. Encompassing romance, heroism, duty, and conflict, Tennyson's poetry charts the rise and fall of a legendary society. |

And blackens every blot for where is | 30 |
But since he neither wore on helm or shield | 50 |
But rode a simple knight among his knights | 60 |
Victor and lord But were I joind with her | 90 |
When Arthur reachd a field of battle bright | 100 |
At once from either side with trumpetblast | 110 |
To Arthurbut a son she had not borne | 200 |
Broad pathways for the hunter and the knight | 206 |
That vext his mother all before his time | 210 |
Sun rain and sun and where is he who knows? 410 | 214 |
Was Arthur born and all as soon as born | 220 |
And gave him to Sir Anton an old knight | 230 |
If Arthur were the child of shamefulness | 240 |
There at the banquet those great lords from Rome | 257 |
Carados Urien Cradlemont of Wales | 120 |
So like a painted battle the war stood | 130 |
Debating How should I that am a king | 140 |
Sir King there be but two old men that know | 150 |
O friend had I been holpen half as well | 160 |
Some calling Arthur born of Gorloïs | 170 |
For there be those who hate him in their hearts | 180 |
And there be those who deem him more than man | 190 |
Few but all brave all of one mind with him | 260 |
DEDICATION | 261 |
And mock their fostermother on four feet | 262 |
Or whether there were truth in anything | 263 |
With large divine and comfortable words | 270 |
And hundred winters are but as the hands | 280 |
Who knows a subtler magic than his own | 290 |
