The Lady of Shalott (1832) is a lyrical narrative set of Music composed by the Victorian Age Poet Alfred Lord Tennyson, narrating the tragic story of Elaine of Astolat (A Character from Arthurian Legend). She is narrated as a Young Woman of a Noble House-Hold, who is grounded in a Tower up the river from Camelot. Lord Bernard, Father of Elaine and the Lord of Astolat, arranges a Jousting Tournament, where King Arthur, as well other Knights including Sir Lancelot attended. It was Lancelot who attended the event after a lot of persuasion by Lord Bernard and his two sons. Elaine was filled with love for Lancelot at first sight and begs Lancelot to carry her token while participating in the tournament. As Queen Guinevere was supposed to attend the tournament as well, Lancelot though wore the token of Elaine, yet participated in disguise and went on to win the competition after defeating some forty participants from the party of King Arthur. In the tournament, Lancelot borrowed a Shield from Sir Torre, the brother of Elaine, while his own Recognizable Shield was left with Torre. During the tournament, Lancelot received an injury to his side from the lance of Sir Bors and was carried away later to the cave of the Hermit Sir Baudwin by another brother of Elaine. Elaine begged her father to bring back the wounded Lancelot to Her Chamber, where she nursed him back to health. As Lancelot recovered, he prepared to leave and offered to pay Elaine for all her services. But to his surprise Elaine brought him back his Shield, which she was guarding all this time. A Cautious Lancelot now did leave the Castle and never to return again, but now cognizant of the feelings of Lady Elaine. After Ten Days, Elaine died of a Heart-Break and according to her last will she was given her last farewell on a small boat, with a lily being clutched in her one hand and her last letter in the other. As she drifted down the river to Camelot, she was discovered by the court of King Arthur and they called Her – A Little Lily Maiden. Lancelot was asked for and arriving he got to know of the content of the letter. Ashamed of Himself, Lancelot paid for Her Rich Burial. Probably what a Husband would have done for His Wife or a Beau for His Lover. What Elaine could not Achieve in Her Life, Probably She Achieved in Her Death --They crossed themselves, their stars they blest, Knight, minstrel, abbot, squire, and guest; There lay a parchment on her breast, That puzzled more than all the rest, The wellfed wits at Camelot; The web was woven curiously, The charm is broken utterly, Draw near and fear not,—this is I,        The Lady of Shalott. -- [Image: The Lady of Shalott by John Atkinson Grimshaw (1875)] [Info and Image Credit : The_Lady_of_Shalott , Elaine_of_Astolat , Wikipedia ; Image Availed Under Public Domain Work of Art (Please Relate to Source Image-URL for more Image Usage Property) ] [Source Image-URL :: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:John_Atkinson_Grimshaw_-_%22The_Lady_of_Shalott%22_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg
