Read this excerpt from "The Lady of Shalott" by Alfred, Lord Tennyson. Which line marks the climax in the poem?
His broad clear brow in sunlight glow'd;
On burnish'd hooves his war horse trode:
From underneath his helmet flow'd
His coal-black curls as on he rode,
As he rode down to Camelot.
From the bank and from the river
He flash'd into the crystal mirror.
"Tirra lirra," by the river
Sang Sir Lancelot
She left the web, she left the loom,
She made three paces thro' the room,
She saw the water lily bloom,
She saw the helmet and the plume.
She look'd down to Camelot.
Out flew the web and floated wide:
The mirror crack'd from side to side:
"The curse is come upon me," cried
The Lady of Shalott.
