The Passing of King Arthur is a poem written by Alfred Tennyson that tells the story of the legendary King Arthur's final battle and his eventual passing. The poem is divided into several parts, each of which focuses on a different aspect of Arthur's story. The first part describes the arrival of Arthur's knights at the battlefield, where they are met by the armies of Mordred, Arthur's nephew and enemy. The second part details the fierce battle between the two sides, which results in the deaths of many of Arthur's knights. The third part sees Arthur himself enter the fray, wielding the legendary sword Excalibur and fighting with great valor. However, despite his bravery, Arthur is ultimately mortally wounded, and he is taken to the Isle of Avalon to be healed. The fourth part of the poem describes Arthur's journey to Avalon, where he is met by the Lady of the Lake and other mystical beings. Finally, in the fifth part of the poem, Arthur passes away, and his body is carried away on a barge, accompanied by the mournful cries of his knights. The Passing of King Arthur is a powerful and poignant poem that captures the nobility and heroism of one of the most beloved figures in English literature.THIS 34 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Tennyson�������s Mystical Poems, by Alfred Tennyson.
