Alfred Tennyson

LA DAMA DE SHALOTT

..."Y en la oscura extensión río abajo
-como un audaz vidente en trance,
contemplando su infortunio-
con turbado semblante
miró hacia Camelot.
Y al final del día
la amarra soltó, dejándose llevar;
la corriente lejos arrastró

a la Dama de Shalott."

La dama de Shalott -John William Waterhouse

THE LADY OF SHALOTT

With a steady stony glance— 

Like some bold seer in a trance, 

Beholding all his own mischance, 

Mute, with a glassy countenance— 

       She look'd down to Camelot. 

It was the closing of the day: 

She loos'd the chain, and down she lay; 

The broad stream bore her far away, 

       The Lady of Shalott.
