Project Gutenberg 2003-05-01 Public domain in the USA. 143 Landor, Walter Savage 1775 1864 Landor, Savagius Gebir, and Count Julian Transcribed from the 1887 Cassell & Company edition by David Price "Gebir and Count Julian" by Walter Savage Landor is a poetic work consisting of narrative poems likely written in the early 19th century. The piece intertwines mythological elements with historical narratives, primarily revolving around Gebir, a prince of Boetic Spain, who grapples with themes of ambition, love, and conflict while preparing to invade Egypt, and Count Julian, whose story reflects betrayal and loss amidst the Moors' invasion of Spain. The opening portion introduces Gebir, a strong and contemplative character living in a mountainous region. As he prepares for war, he is drawn into a complex interplay of personal desires and epic ambitions. He encounters Charoba, a young queen whose approach evokes both fear and fascination within him. Meanwhile, his brother Tamar reveals his own romantic woes involving a mystical nymph. The initial scenes establish a tension between Gebir's ambitions for glory and his personal struggles, setting the stage for the tragic and contemplative undertones that will define the overarching narrative. The themes introduced hint at a rich exploration of human emotion, ambition, and the pursuit of love, reflecting Landor's lyrical style and engagement with classical traditions.
