What do the metaphor and simile identified in this

passage most strongly emphasize?

Thou therefore take my brand Excalibur,

Which was my pride: for thou rememberest how

In those old days, one summer noon, an arm

Rose up from out the bosom of the lake,

Clothed in white samite, mystic, wonderful,

Holding the sword-and how I row'd across

And took it, and have worn it, like a king:

And, wheresoever I am sung or told

In aftertime, this also shall be known

-"Morte d'Arthur,

Alfred, Lord Tennyson

the beauty of the Lady of the Lake

the importance of Excalibur to King Arthur

the authority of King Arthur over Bedivere

the timeless appeal of King Arthur's legend

    The metaphor and simile in this excerpt emphasize the importance of Excalibur to King Arthur.

    Indeed, the narrator is talking about the day he gained possession of the sword, and uses these literary devices to highlight how meaningful this event was to him and how it changed his life: "have worn it, like a king."
