Robbins Library Digital Projects Announcement: We are currently working on a large-scale migration of the Robbins Library Digital Projects to a new platform. This migration affects The Camelot Project, The Robin Hood Project, The Crusades Project, The Cinderella Bibliography, and Visualizing Chaucer.
While these resources will remain accessible during the course of migration, they will be static, with reduced functionality. They will not be updated during this time. We anticipate the migration project to be complete by Summer 2025.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us directly at robbins@ur.rochester.edu. We appreciate your understanding and patience.

Avalon
King Arthur lies in Avalon
world-weary, wounded,
as winds of endless ages
swirl and dead moments torment
proud despairing dreams.
Camelot grew
from idea to dust to
memory fading
into heavy autumn fog,
and the land, waste, waits
without hope.
Arthur lies in Avalon,
a sleeping savior,
an undead king entombed,
listening through leaden silence
for a call that cannot come.
The hand of winter closes
and Arthur,
once king but nevermore,
lies in Avalon
still
world-weary, wounded,
as winds of endless ages
swirl and dead moments torment
proud despairing dreams.
