Springtime is here, and time for the annual reading of Tennyson's "Locksley Hall." There is a passage in which I don't understand a reference, and ask for help.
_ I that rather held it better
men should perish one by one,
Than the earth should stand at gaze
like Joshua's moon in Ajalon!_
I can't figure the meaning of this, and don't get the (astronomical?)
reference to "Joshua's moon in Ajalon."
Thanks for any help.
George
