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

Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1809–1892) British poet laureate

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.

They filled one home with glee:
Their graves are severed far and wide
By mount and stream and sea.”

And I know you won't be back”
