Round 8: 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 (10[1])chants “a carol, mournful, holy.” In this poem’s (10[1])last stanza, a man sees the title character and muses “She has a lovely face.” This (10[1])poem begins in a place where “On either side the river lie (10[1])/ Long fields of barley and of (10[1])rye.” (10[1])The title character of this poem says “I am half sick of shadows” (10[1])after weaving images of a nearby castle. In this poem, a mirror is “crack’d (10[1])from side to side” (10[2])after the title character triggers a curse by looking out at Lancelot. For 10 points, name this Alfred, Lord Tennyson poem about a woman who dies on a boat (10[1])headed to Camelot. (0[2])■END■
