Browning's narrative poem, which was initially published in the anthology "Men and Women" in 1855, eventually served as the source of inspiration for Stephen King's "Dark Tower" series.The poem narrates the story of Roland, a knight who arrives at the Dark Tower, the goal of his quest, last. He is the last survivor after all of his teammates have died. He perseveres, marching relentlessly, until he finally arrives at the Tower.
