Idylls of the King: The Last Tournament (excerpt)

...happy in thy fair Queen as I in mine."


And Tristram round the gallery made his horse
Caracole; then bow'd his homage, bluntly saying,
"Fair damsels, each to him who worships each
Sole Queen of Beauty and of love, behold
This day my Queen of Beauty is not here."
And most of these were mute, some anger'd, one
Murmuring, "All courtesy is dead," and one
"The glory of our Round Table is no more."


Then fell thick rain, plume droopt and mantle clung,
And pettish cries awoke, and...Read more of this...

Last Instructions to a Painter

...ut Louis was of memory but dull 
And to St Albans too undutiful, 
Nor word nor near relation did revere, 
But asked him bluntly for his character. 
The gravelled Count did with the answer faint-- 
His character was that which thou didst paint-- 
Trusses his baggage and the camp does fly. 
Yet Louis writes and, lest our heart should break, 
Consoles us morally out of Seneque. 

Two letters next unto Breda are sent: 
In cipher one to Harry Excellent; 
The first instructs our (v...Read more of this...

The Comedian As The Letter C

158 The rumbling broadened as it fell. The wind, 
159 Tempestuous clarion, with heavy cry, 
160 Came bluntly thundering, more terrible 
161 Than the revenge of music on bassoons. 
162 Gesticulating lightning, mystical, 
163 Made pallid flitter. Crispin, here, took flight. 
164 An annotator has his scruples, too. 
165 He knelt in the cathedral with the rest, 
166 This connoisseur of elemental fate, 
167 Aware of exquisite thought. The storm was one

The Lady of the Lake

...hanks their guerdon took,
     But Brent, with shy and awkward look,
     On the reluctant maiden's hold
     Forced bluntly back the proffered gold:—
     'Forgive a haughty English heart,
     And O, forget its ruder part!

     The vacant purse shall be my share,
     Which in my barrel-cap I'll bear,
     Perchance, in jeopardy of war,
     Where gayer crests may keep afar.'
     With thanks—'twas all she could—the maid
     His rugged courtesy repaid.

The Perch

...ttle flood-slubs, runty and ready,
I saw and I see in the river’s glorified body

That is passable through, but they’re bluntly holding the 
pass,
Under the water-roof, over the bottom, adoze

On the current, against it, all muscle and slur
In the finland of perch, the fenland of alder, on air

That is water, on carpets of Bann stream, on hold
In the everything flows and steady go of the world....Read more of this...
