Round 5: Tossup 4

In The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, Sandy Stranger imagines a character from this poem 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.” This poem begins in a place where “On either side the river lie / Long fields (10[1])of barley and of rye.” (10[1])The title character (10[1])of this poem says “I am half sick of (10[1])shadows” after (-5[1])weaving images (10[1])of a nearby (10[1])castle. (10[1])In this poem, a mirror is “crack’d from (10[1])side to side” after the title character triggers a curse (10[1])by looking out at Lancelot. For 10 points, name this Alfred, Lord Tennyson poem about a woman who dies (10[1])on a boat headed to Camelot. (0[1])■END■
