The Arthurian legend of the "Lady of Shalott" says that she falls in love with Lancelot, knowing that he is in love with Guinevere. Distraught, she sets sail for Camelot, freezing to death in the boat on her journey. The poet Alfred, Lord Tennyson was inspired to write a poem about the legend in 1842. Read the following excerpt from the poem "Lady of Shalott" by Alfred, Lord Tennyson.

A cloudwhite crown of pearl she dight,
All raimented in snowy white
That loosely flew (her zone in sight
Clasp'd with one blinding diamond bright)
Her wide eyes fix'd on Camelot,
Though the squally east-wind keenly
Blew, with folded arms serenely
By the water stood the queenly
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.

As when to sailors while they roam,
By creeks and outfalls far from home,
Rising and dropping with the foam,
From dying swans wild warblings come,
Blown shoreward; so to Camelot
Still as the boathead wound along
The willowy hills and fields among,
They heard her chanting her deathsong,
The Lady of Shalott.

Once you have read the text, examine the following painting titled The Lady of Shalott (1888) by John William Waterhouse.

Tennyson's poem and Waterhouse's painting both depict this fictional event, but there are details in visual art that cannot be communicated through text. In a short response of at least five sentences, describe at least one detail clearly shown in the painting that is not evident in the poem. Include at least one specific reference to each work in your response.
