The Lady Of Shalott, John William Waterhouse.
The Lady of Shalott, by Alfred Lord Tennyson (frag)
She left the web, she left the loom, She made three paces through the room, She saw the helmet and the plume, She look'd down to Camelot. Out flew the web and floated wide; The mirror crack'd from side to side; "The curse is come upon me," cried The Lady of Shalott.
