When I set out for Lyonnesse. Please provide a line by line explanation to it. The summary isnt much help full.
Thanks
Background:
This is a lyrical poem that was inspired by and describes the poet’s trip to Lyonnesse, the mythical birthplace of Sir Tristam who was an Arthurian knight. In reality the trip was made by the young poet to restore a church.
Line by line explanation:
The poet started his journey to the imaginary place of Lyonnesse which was a hundred miles away. When he begun the trip there was still frost on the foliage and starlight guided him on the way. It was early in the morning. The poet uses double line repetition to emphasize the point of his starting the trip.
Neither an oracle could tell nor could a magician guess what would happen while the poet stayed at Lyonnesse.
When the poet returned from his stay at Lyonnesse all the people guessed speechlessly that he had a magical twinkle in his eyes. His face was radiant with a unique and deep glow. It was as if he had encountered something special and extraordinary that gave him this incomprehensible radiance.
