The narrator of King Cophetua, a former soldier, recalls the events surrounding his arrival at the home of his friend Jacques Nueil, a dandy, an aviator, and an avant-garde composer. It is All Saints' Day, 1917. The Great War is leading up to images of the Russian Revolution, and from Nueil's villa the narrator hears the sounds of bombs dropping in the distance. King Cophetua is inspired by vivid memory and by two images, Goya's engraving entitled La Mala Noche and Burne-Jones's painting King Cophetua and the Beggar Girl.
