Guenevere

Sara Teasdale

First published 1911
Type Poem

"This poem is a dramatic monologue in blank verse, spoken by Guenevere a month after her fall from grace, when '[t]here is no other havoc left to do.' She reflects upon how her status has changed since a man turned the queen into a woman; she describes the moment when she first knew that she loved, and concludes with the declaration that the price of her love will now be borne by many." &mdash;Ann F. Howey and Stephen R. Reimer, <i>A Bibliography of Modern Arthuriana, 1500&ndash;2000</i>
