Sleeping Beauty is not the only folkloric character to rest in an enchanted sleep. King Arthur still sleeps on the mysterious island of Avalon, ready to awaken when his country needs him

My sorrow, when she’s here with me,
Thinks these dark days of autumn rain
Are beautiful as days can be;
She loves the bare, the withered tree;
She walks the sodden pasture lane (Robert Frost)
