...and ends in study. I've read 200-300 books. Yet in some areas I'm hopeless. Can anyone help with Tennyson's Sir Galahad? I'd like to know this sentence: 'How sweet are looks that ladies bend On whom their favors fall!' I think 'bend' is bend into a smile, ie. their lips. Should the next line have a question mark? Or does it mean...the character, who's found favour? Many thanks.
I think it means that they're directing their gaze on a guy. They could look at anyone, but a certain guy impresses them, so they direct their gaze to him, and he likes that. "Bend" is meaning "to steer the course," or something along those lines.
