Thread Name: Lyr Add: The Lady of Shalott (Tennyson/McKennitt)
Subject: RE: LYR ADD: The Lady of Shallott
ok Tennyson fans -from my youth I remember something along the lines of Then rose the King and moved his host by night And ever push Sir Mordred league by league back to the sunset bound of Lyonesse A land of old, upheaven from the abyss To sink into the abyss once more Where fragments of forgotten people dwelt And the long mountains ended in coast of ever shifting sand anf far away the phantom circle of a moaning sea there the pursuer could pursue no more and he that fled no further fly the king. and there, that day ,when the great light of heaven burned at its lowest in the rolling year on the waste land by the waste sea they closed..... Anybody remeber anymore or what the title of the poem is, because I do not think it is Morte D'Arthur. Anyway, I was always told that Arthur and his knights were buried under Alderley Edge, waiting for the day England plunges into darkest peril (kept their bloody heads down when Thatcher was elected didn't they?)
