Lately i've been reading Tennyson's Idylls of The King,and probably my favorite chapter would be Elaine and Lancelot and although the basics are not totaly accurate,this is the way i see it...... She had a smile on her face. She was clothed in whitest lace. Her hair was fair, like seas of gold,it sparkled there. poor Elaine,on that dark river his love,Lancelot would not give her. So she wept & she cried, the next day ,Elaine,she died. Life was sweet,but death was sweeter, sorrow was the friend to greet her. In life she lost her love, in death she rose above, Rose above her broken heart & from spoiled dreams she did depart, from this earth she did cease, in the barge,found her peace. Her lifeless body carried forth, up to Camelot in the north. *Rest in peace,fair lily maiden* And there she weaves by night and day, a magic web of colours gay.~Tennyson |
