Poems....some of my favorites..

SO here is the first verse from one of my favorite poems
Its by Tennyson
Im also writing my paper on it....
SO its sort of a review :D
Here we go...

The Lady of Shalo
tt

(apologize for the
modern pic)





On either side the river lie
Long fields of barley and of rye,
That clothe the wold and meet the sky;
And through the field the road run by
To many-tower'd Camelot;
And up and down the people go,
Gazing where the lilies blow
Round an island there below,
The island of Shalott.


Also, since Elaine, Lady of Shalott is a character from the Legend of King Arthur, I have always been fascinated by the story and the characters
Thats another reason behind this poem being the specific topic of my term paper! :D


Take care,
Mitali

p.s. I might treat you to a few more tomorrow!
