""The Holy Grail"" is a poem written by Alfred Lord Tennyson, published in 1869. It is a part of his larger work, ""Idylls of the King"", which is a collection of twelve poems that retell the legend of King Arthur and his knights. ""The Holy Grail"" is a narrative poem that tells the story of Sir Galahad, one of the knights of the Round Table, who is on a quest to find the Holy Grail, a sacred cup believed to have been used by Jesus Christ at the Last Supper.The poem is divided into four parts, each of which describes a different stage in Galahad's journey. In the first part, Galahad is summoned by King Arthur to undertake the quest for the Holy Grail. He sets out on his journey accompanied by a group of other knights, including Sir Bors and Sir Percivale.In the second part, Galahad and his companions encounter a hermit who tells them about the perils they will face on their quest. They continue on their journey and arrive at a castle where they are welcomed by the Fisher King, who is suffering from a mysterious illness. The Fisher King tells them that the Holy Grail is kept in his castle and that only a pure and worthy knight can retrieve it.In the third part, Galahad is the only knight who is deemed pure enough to enter the chamber where the Holy Grail is kept. He sees a vision of the Grail and is filled with a sense of divine purpose. However, he is unable to take the Grail with him and is transported back to Arthur's court.In the final part, Galahad dies and is taken up to heaven by angels. The other knights realize that they were not pure enough to see the Holy Grail and vow to live more virtuous lives.""The Holy Grail"" is a poem that explores themes of purity, faith, and the quest for spiritual fulfillment. It is written in a lyrical and evocative style that captures the mystical and otherworldly atmosphere of the Arthurian legend.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1887 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

- This volume is brilliantly illustrated with 70 pictures to amplify the poems of Alfred Lord Tennyson. Truly unique Alfred Tennyson, 1st Baron Tennyson, FRS, was considered the most popular British poet. According to The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations, Tennyson is the 9th most quoted writer in the English Language. Yet, some of his poems were dropped from collections of his works, never reprinted - that is, until a scholar named J.C. Thomson dug them up. Here are Tennyson's suppressed works from 1830 to 1868 neatly collected in one volume. What makes this book different from other versions available is that it's a pictorial edition, each poem illustrated by a photographic still life that reflects the sentiments of the verse. A unique presentation.
