senticous:Favourite Artworks:‘The Lady of Shalott’ by John William Waterhouse1888The painting illustrates the following lines from part IV of Tennyson’s ‘The Lady of Shalott’:And down the river’s dim expanse Like some bold seer in a trance, Seeing all his own mischance - With glassy countenance Did she look to Camelot. And at the closing of the day She loosed the chain, and down she lay; The broad stream bore her far away, The Lady of Shalott. -- source link
