And the silent isle
imbowers
the
Lady
of
Shalott.
William Holman Hunt(1889-92)
Edward J. Sullivan
Only reapers, reaping early
In among the bearded barley,
Hear a song that echoes
cheerly
CharlesRobinson (1870-1937)
There
she
weaves
by
night
and
day
William Holman Hunt
And moving thro’ a mirror clear
That hangs before her all the year,
Shadows of the world appear
But in her web she still delightsTo weave the mirror’s magic sights
Elizabeth Siddall(1853)
“‘I’m half sick of shadows,’ said the Lady of Shalott.”
John William Waterhouse(1916)
William Maw Egley
A bow-shot from her bower-eaves,He rode between the barley-sheaves
She left the web, she left the loom,
She made three paces thro’ the room
She saw the helmet and the plume,
She look’d down to Camelot
John William Waterhouse
(1894)
Sidney Harold Meteyard(1913)
“The curse is upon me.”
Down she came and found a boatBeneath a willow left alfloat,And round about the prow she wrote
The Lady of Shalott
John William Waterhouse
(1888)
Elainev “The Lady of Shalott” was based on
the story of Elaine the Fair of Astolat in Sir Thomas Malory’s Morte D’arthur (1469-70).
v Elaine dies of grief because she is in love with Sir Lancelot, but Sir Lancelot loves Queen Guinevere, the wife of King Arthur.
v Tennyson developed this story more in Idylls of the King.
