Pic related is part of my stack, which I can't take a photo of right now.

Ulysses by Tennyson is my favourite poem anyway, so I decided I'd try and read more of him. Holy shit, he's blowing my mind.

Not only is he capturing the Medieval aesthetic to a tee, but he's also hearkening further back to Beowulf/Chaucer/etc. It is frankly sublime, and captures all that is quintessentially, historically English.

Moreover, it's invaluable for anyone who is persuaded by Carlyle's On Hero and Hero Worship. It's easy to see why people are so easily persuaded by Hero Worship when you look at figures, fictional or not, like King Arthur.
