Q. I am writing a paper on the topic, and I have a few papers, but I need just a few more things for references and to cite. I need anything on Faith or Religion, and is absolutely has to be from Idylls of the King. I've looked everywhere, and I can't seem to find anything other than what I already have.

A. Vivien, according to Tennyson, is a rather loose woman at the court of King Mark in Cornwall whose parents died in war against Arthur. Vivien mocks the supposed purity of Arthur s court, suspecting that the supposed pure love of Lancelot and the Queen is in fact an adulterous relationship. She goes to Camelot to seek out the corruption. She lies herself into the position of being a lady of the court and spreads her gossip among the ladies at court at a time when the court has no external enemies and so people have time for her gossip and tales, whether they be true or not. She then sets out to seduce Merlin. Merlin should know better, but he becomes infatuated with Vivien. He sees through some of her tricks, but accepts them as normal… [cont.]

Asked by boomeerash - Sat Sep 29 06:25:53 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It is called "The Eagle:Fragment" He clasps the crag with crooked hands; Close to the sun in lonely lands, Ringed with the azure world, he stands. The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls; He watches from his mountain walls, And like a thunderbolt he falls. Tennyson is an extremely lyrical poet, please appreciate that. This poem is brief, but it contains much powerful imagery. the crags the sun the sea the mountain walls. Much is said, but few is written. The whole poem offers clues regarding location, just read. The poem is abrupt, it is a "Fragment", and you don't know the true fate of the eagle. Is he soaring away? Did he lose his ability to fly? Was he shot? Is he dead? What was he doing there? etc. are left unanswered by the poem, [cont.]

Asked by Terry R - Fri May 30 12:33:53 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The value of a book varies considerably. If it's a book nobody ever read by an author nobody ever heard of, it isn't likely to be worth much compared to a Hemingway novel of the same age and condition. Tennyson is a well-known author, although "The Princess" is not a well-known work. If it is a first edition and in mint condition, there could be some value, especially to a Tennyson collector. the way to find out is to consult a seller of rare books. For a small fee, he/she can give you an estimate of its value for insurance purposes, what it might bring at suction, or what (if anything) he/she would give you for it.

Elaine from Lancelot & Elaine by Alfred,Lord Tennyson What makes her special?
Q. Can anyone give me reasons on why Elaine is so special and why she deserves honor. If you can give me any kind of details it would help. I need help understanding her character and her love for Lancelot. I need help on figuring out why she was so special and what are the things that made her special.
Asked by Ms.Goon27 - Mon Jan 18 01:45:26 2010 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Elaine is only special because she dies for love of Lancelot. Whether she deserves honour for this is dubious. She might just as well be thought to be an extraordinarily silly damsel. She is shown to be a young and somewhat naive girl who is totally entranced with Lancelot to the point that she cannot bear to live without him. Note that Lancelot did not consciously encourage her infatuation. The story first appears in the medieval French Mort d Artu , then in the English Stanzaic Morte Arthur . See . The damsel who falls in love with Lancelot and dies is unnamed in these versions. Sir Thomas Malory in his Le Morte d Artur first names the damsel as Elaine . See , chapters IX to XX. Tennyson adapts Malory with only a few changes. [cont.]

Asked by Luffy - Sat Sep 26 18:38:25 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It's about the main character of the Odyssey, Ulysses (Odysseus in Greek). That is itself a follow-up to the Iliad, Homer's epic poem about the Trojan War. After a ten-year siege (which is an almost incomprehensibly huge investment in warfare in that society, where the warriors were also the defenders and managers of their home estates), Ulysses tried to sail home, but was cursed by a god to wander about, having lots of adventures but not reaching home. Meanwhile, his wife was fending off suitors who tried to force her to declare him presumed dead, and marry one of them so the chosen one would acquire his kingdom. Eventually, Odysseus does get home, scouts out the place in disguise, reveals himself to his son and recruits his help, takes… [cont.]

Asked by Hotsurfer - Sat Nov 18 08:33:25 2006 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I will give a basic expalanation and you can work out the details by considering the poem closley. Aurora, the Goddess of Dawn, whom Homer had described as "rosy fingered", fell in love with a series of mortals, one of whom was Tithonus, a handsome Trojan prince. She requested for him the gift of immortality fron the gods or from Zeus but forgot to ask that he be eternally youthful. After some years of rapturous love , such as a hitherto mortal man may be said to enjoy with an immortal (one Greek word for god means deathless) Tithonus aged and grew old, when Aurora left him alone, giving him the run of her divine palace. The poem is the lament of Tithonus. He would rather die like other men than live in this gorgeous isolation, forsaken… [cont.]

These are the words of "God Save the Queen" try comparing them with the Light Brigade God save our gracious Queen, Long live our noble Queen, God save the Queen: Send her victorious, Happy and glorious, Long to reign over us: God save the Queen.
