602-605. Either the spirit of the old friends and scenes came to him, or his spirit went out to them. Two ways of saying the same thing—that there came before his mind the vague images of former scenes. =many phantoms.= Many images went to make up the day dream. 610. =dewy-glooming.= Looking darker in the early morning because covered with dew. 615. A suggestion that in some mysterious way the sound of the marriage bells of Annie and Philip was borne to him. 633. =silent.= They were so far from the island that they could not hear the sound of the waterfall. 640. =rage.= Because he could not make himself understood. 642. =sweet water.= Fresh water. 653. =county.= This word was changed to “country” in a later edition. 659. =down thro’ all his blood.= He breathed deeply of the air he loved. 661. =ghostly wall.= The white chalk cliffs of southern England. 670-2. Through both gorges there came up a mist from the sea. See lines 102-3. 675. =holt.= Woodland. =tilth.= Tilled ground. 679. Why does the poet represent Enoch as returning in the thick mist rather than in the bright sunshine? 688. =A bill of sale.= A notice that the house was for sale. 690. =pool.= Harbour. 692. =timber-crost antiquity.= Built in the old style, with the timbers showing on the outside,—the spaces between being filled in with plaster. 737. =shingle.= Gravel. 793. =tranced.= A trance is any state in which the bodily functions are for the time suspended. Here Enoch is in a half-swoon. 797. =burthen.= A refrain or chorus. Strictly speaking, the word signifies the bass accompaniment or undersong. 801-4. Just as fresh water from a spring in the ocean rises through the salt water and keeps alive the mariner who drinks of it; so prayer springing out of his resolve (will) never to let her know came up through the bitterness of his life and “kept him a living soul.” 807. =enow.= Enough. 829. The lower edges of the cloud or mist which the wind lifts. 910. “The calling of the sea is a term used, I believe, chiefly in the western parts of England, to signify a ground swell. When this occurs on a windless night, the echo of it rings through the timbers of the old houses in a haven.” (Tennyson.) A ground-swell is a heavy swell due to a violent gale. It is often felt for some days afterwards and on shores which are far distant from the scene of the storm. * * * * * MORTE D’ARTHUR. Published in 1842.
