the lady of shallot (1850) 🕸 I’ve always loved The Lady of Shallot - the Holman Hunt and Waterhouse paintings, the poem by Tennyson; the beauty and the tragedy of the maiden in the tower, protected, preserved, and imprisoned from the pain but also the joy of the world below her - all while the dashing knight is unaware of her existence. I envision an alternate ending where the troublesome knight is only a passing distraction... although in hindsight i wish I’d broken her free from her curse.
