Lady of Shalott

The Lady of Shalott by Alfred Tennyson is about a woman who is cursed and is not ever allowed to look or go into the city of Camelot. She spent her time weaving and looking at Camelot by using a mirror and only seeing the reflection. One day, she sees Sir Lancelot and she decides to go to Camelot and find him, unknowing of the consequences of her curse. She takes a boat and she dies on her way and then the boat floats into Camelot and Sir Lancelot sees her dead and thinks she is beautiful.

I was surprised that I liked this poem, because I am not a poetry fan.
