I was reading through some old books and found this much loved poem. I thought my romantic friends would like this.

The Lady of Shallot by Alfred, Lord Tennyson

I love this! Thank you for posting the link. Loreena Mckennitt is one of my favorite musicians.

Her voice and songs are woven into my cloth. I am a weaver and I often listen to her while I am at the bench! Her songs have a very haunting felling and the stories and melodies are familiar. Listening to her music is a lot like reading OL. I am not much of one for poetry but this book must have been left over from college. The Carnegie Library at the main museum in Pittsburgh has an illuminated illustration of
The Lady of Shalot. Beautifully done.

I like to listen to Loreena too - she has a very distinctive voice...

This is one of my favourite portraits of The lady of Shalott (1888) - it's by one of the pre-Raphaelite painters - John William Waterhouse - it's in the Tate Gallery in London.
