Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Guinevere Arthur: Adapted From Tennyson´s ´Idylls of the King´ Modred. Good morrow to you, fair Vivien!... and to you, ladies. (Again looking back, he places his fingers to his lips with a meaning smile, then goes off.) Enid. It is Sir Modred, like a subtle beast, Lies couchant, with his eyes upon the throne, Ready to spring, waiting a chance; for this He chills the popular praises of the King With silent smiles of slow disparagement; And tampers with the Lords of the White Horse, Heathen - the brood by Hengist left; and seeks To make disruption in the Table Round Of Arthur, and to splinter it into feuds Serving his traitorous end; and all his aims Are sharpened by strong hate for Lancelot. Leonore. How doth it chance? Vivien. One morn, when all the Court, Green-suited, but with plumes that mocked the may, Had been, their wont, a-maying, and returned - That Modred, still in green, all ear and eye, Climbed to the high top of the garden-wall To spy some secret scandal if he might, And saw the Queen... Enid. But more than this He saw not, for Sir Lancelot, passing by, Spied where he couched, and as the gardener´s hand Picks from the colewort a green caterpillar, So from the high wall and the flowering grove Of grasses, Lancelot plucked him by the heel, And cast him as a worm upon the way...
