The Defence of Guenevere and Other Poems

3.9/5 ( ratings)

And ever the great bell overhead"
"Boom'd in the wind a knell for the dead --"
"Though no one toll'd it, a knell for the dead!"

Here Morris explores many of the ideas and themes that would provide continued inspiration throughout his long and influential career -- especially those arising out of the Arthurian tradition, such as "King Arthur's Tomb," and "Sir Galahad, A Christmas Mystery.
