A painting of "The Lady of Shallot" by Waterhouse.  The poem, written by Alfred Lord Tennyson, would send delightful shivers down my spine when I would recite it.  Poor Elaine, dying of heartbreak.  Loving Lancelot and never having it returned.

The poem was also made popular by Anne Shirley in Kevin Sullivan's adaptation of "Anne of Green Gables" starring Megan Follows.

I recently found my copy of Idylls of the King, an incredible piece of work.  I am enjoying my visit with Tennyson.
