Idylls of the King
I'd always passed Tennyson by - mostly because I think the fussy Arthuriana always seems kind of lame? But I'm enjoying this quite a bit, especially because of his style. What do we call this? Florid?

The old order changeth, yielding place to new /

The thrall in person may be free in soul /

His age hath slowly droopt, and now lies there /
A yet-warm corpse, and yet unburiable /
Quoted on March 29, 2016
And Arthur said, 'Man's word is God in man; /
Let chance what will, I trust thee to the death.
