The blood seemed to stand still in her veins waiting that dreadful instant of recognition. Confusedly, with some frantic thought of flight, "I must go Oh, I must go " She sat up, still hiding, like Godiva, in her hair. "You lie down and rest," said the authoritative voice. "If there's any going to be done I'll do it. Is there some other Babe in the Woods to be found?" "Oh, no no, but I must go "
At present epics are read for duty's sake, not for the only valid reason, "for human pleasure," in FitzGerald's phrase. Between 1838 and 1840 Tennyson made some brief tours in England with FitzGerald, and, coming from Coventry, wrote Godiva. His engagement with Miss Sellwood seemed to be adjourned sine die, as they were forbidden to correspond.
Be these things as they may, Godiva was the greatest lady in England, save two: Edith, Harold's sister, the nominal wife of Edward the Confessor; and Githa, or Gyda, as her own Danes called her, Harold's mother, niece of Canute the Great. Great was Godiva; and might have been proud enough, had she been inclined to that pleasant sin.
Every one understands how this may happen at critical moments of life; what a weirdly expressive soul may have crept, even in full noonday, into "the white-flower'd elder-thicket," when Godiva saw it "gleam through the Gothic archways in the wall," at the end of her terrible ride. To Rossetti it is so always, because to him life is a crisis at every moment.

I had to, I had to. It was the only way I got the work done. Gudrun watched him with large, dark-filled eyes, for some moments. She seemed to be considering his very soul. Then she looked down, in silence. 'Why did you have such a young Godiva then? asked Gerald. 'She is so small, besides, on the horse not big enough for it such a child. A queer spasm went over Loerke's face. 'Yes, he said.
"But when he saw who I was, as if inspired by a malignant spirit, he shouted out my name, and bade his companions throw me to the ground." "Throw you to the ground?" shuddered the Lady Godiva. "In much mire, madam.
And this was a splendid opportunity, for the night carnival was already beginning. "The bear is worth seeing," said Blackton, turning his team in the direction of the blazing light of the half-mile street that was the Broadway of Tête Jaune. "And the woman who rides him is worth seeing, too," he chuckled. "He's a big fellow and she plays the Godiva act.
Then they went down to the water and took barge, and laid the corpse therein; and Godiva and Hereward sat at the dead lad's head; and Winter steered the boat, and Gwenoch took the stroke-oar.
