But in her web she still delights
To weave the mirror’s magic sights,
For often through the silent nights
A funeral, with plumes and lights
And music, went to Camelot;
Or when the Moon was overhead,
Came two young lovers lately wed.
“I am half sick of shadows,” said
The Lady of Shalott.

This poem/ballad/song is probably one of the best I’ve ever read. Yeah, it’s kind of famous. But my heart just about broke in the stanza where after she’s died to get to Camelot because she just wanted to talk to Lancelot…

Lancelot mused a little space/He said “She has a lovely face”

ffff why could you not realize this earlier D:
