Arthur and Enid
by: George Wooliscroft Rhead (Artist) , Louis Rhead (Artist)
from: Idylls of the King: Vivien, Elaine, Enid, Guinevere (P. 31) - 1898
This picture illustrates the lines from Tennyson's "Enid" idyll (later "Geraint and Enid"):
. . . the King himself
Advanced to greet them, and beholding her
Though pale, yet happy, asked her not a word,
But went apart with Edyrn, whom he held
In converse for a little, and returned,
And, gravely smiling, lifted her from horse,
And kissed her with all pureness, brother-like,
And showed an empty tent allotted her.
