marxferatu:thelongvictorian:I am Half-Sick of Shadows, said the Lady of Shalott (1916)by John William Waterhouse (1849–1917). Art Gallery of Ontario. In the PreRaphaelite style. ON either side the river lieLong fields of barley and of rye,That clothe the wold and meet the sky;And thro’ the field the road runs by To many-tower’d Camelot;And up and down the people go,Gazing where the lilies blowRound an island there below, The island of Shalott.Willows whiten, aspens quiver,Little breezes dusk and shiverThro’ the wave that runs for everBy the island in the river Flowing down to Camelot.Four gray walls, and four gray towers,Overlook a space of flowers,And the silent isle imbowers The Lady of Shalott. -- source link
