Ladies in Lockdown 2: Pathfinder


…By the margin, willow veil'd,

Slide the heavy barges trail'd 

By slow horses; and unhail'd 

The shallop flitteth silken-sail'd

Skimming down to Camelot: 

But who hath seen her wave her 

hand? 

Or at the casement seen her stand? 

Or is she known in all the land, 

The Lady of Shalott?…


- from The Lady of Shalott (1833, Alfred, Lord Tennyson)
