Round 7: Tossup 4

In The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, Sandy Stranger imagines a character from this poem (-5[1])telling her she is to be “so ill-fated in love” as Miss Jean Brodie recites this poem. That character in this poem is compared to a “bold seër in a trance” as she chants “a carol, mournful, holy.” In this poem’s last stanza, a man sees the title character and muses “She has a lovely face.” (-5[1])This poem begins in a place where “On either side the river lie / Long (10[1])fields of barley and of rye.” The title character of this poem says “I am half sick of shadows” after weaving images of a nearby castle. In this poem, a mirror is “crack’d from side to side” after the title character triggers a curse by looking out at (10[1])Lancelot. (10[1])For 10 points, name this Alfred, Lord Tennyson poem about a woman who dies on a boat headed to Camelot. ■END■
