As the dog With inward yelp and restless forefoot plies His function of the woodland. Like a dog, he hunts in dreams. TENNYSON AS GEOLOGIST 45 Scott, in the Lay of the hast Minstrel^ had already used this observation : — The staghounds, weary with the chase, Lay stretched upon the rushy floor. And urged, in dreams, the forest race From Teviotstone to Eskdale Moor. Take next a graphic description of an interrupted dog-fight : — As the cur, Pluckt from the cur he fights with, ere his cause Be coo...l'd by fighting, follows, being named. His owner, but remembers all and growls Remembering. In Geraint and Enid two spearmen advance, Each growling like a dog, when his good bone Seems to be pluck'd at by the village boys. Who love to vex him eating, and he fears To lose his bone, and lays his foot upon it. Gnawing and growling. This is a finely-worded description of a common- place incident ; still better is that vivid picture where Gawain, seeing a villainy done, forbore, But in his heat and eagerness Trembled and quivered, as the dog, withheld A moment from the vermin that he sees Before him, shivers, ere he springs and kills.
