“So flash'd and fell the brand Excalibur.”

—  Alfred, Lord Tennyson

Source: Morte D'Arthur (1842), Lines 136-142
Context: The great brand
Made lightnings in the splendour of the moon,
And flashing round and round, and whirl'd in an arch,
Shot like a streamer of the northern morn,
Seen where the moving isles of winter shock
By night, with noises of the northern sea.
So flash'd and fell the brand Excalibur.
