by looking at his reflection in a mirror
The field workers know Lady of Shalott is in the tower when they hear her singing or when they see the weaving she is doing. The poem was written by Alfred Lord Tennyson.
I found the answer it is called "The Lady of Shalott"
Her physical appearance is not specified. If you search her on google images you can see different artist's interpretations of her. I, myself, have just completed an art exam were I painted her just the way I wanted her ^.^
In Tennyson's "The Lady of Shalott" (original version, 1833; revised version, 1842), the Lady is cursed to never look out her window. She is allowed to view the world only by looking into her mirror. She spends her days weaving the images she sees in her mirror, her "shadows of the world". The story ends with her death after looking out her window to see Lancelot pass.
The knights in "The Lady of Shalott" are fictional characters who are depicted riding gallantly on their horses through the countryside. They do not play a significant role in the poem, but their presence adds to the romantic and medieval atmosphere of the setting.
Metaphor -- an imaginative comparison NOT using "like" or "as." It is implied or outright stated that one thing IS the other.Examples:a) "The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas" (from Noyes' "The Highwayman") Two metaphors here!
She turns to look at Sir Lancelot riding by because she loves him. She knows she'll die for looking so she leaves to finally see the world herself instead of the reflection in the mirror.. That's my interpretation but Alfred Lord Tennyson may have intended a different meaning
It could be the relationship between the artist and society.The relationship between Lady and Prince (Infatuation) (Some say she may have died of a broken heart)Deprivation: She's alone in the tower under the spell of a curse without even knowing.Liberation: After she realizes that she has a curse upon her, the Lady of Shalott does not die immediately. Her exposure to the real world, even though it means her death, also means that she can express herself directly in the world. She leaves the tower, finds a boat, and writes her title on it before lying in it and casting off.
"Hiow sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child."
Sir Lancelot appearing in the poem, The Lady Of Shalott.In the third part of the poem The Lady of Shalott, Tennyson presents the appearance of Sir Lancelot on the scene. His thick-jewelled and highly-polished saddle leather, helmet and the colourful helmet-feather burned together as a single burning flame against the serene blue unclouded sky as he rode down to Camelot. The Lady of Shalott could see his passing in her magic mirror and was enchanted by the majesty of his passing when she forgot her curse and rushed to the window to have a glance at him. Tennyson compares his passing through the land with some bearded meteor moving over the still Shalott trailing light, through the purple night, under the bright starry clusters of the sky. He makes this comparison for two reasons-the majesty of their passing and the doom they create. A comet will have a central hard core consisting of solid materials and a long flowing tail and beard composed of sparkling gases. Meteors also appear the same. In this poem Tennyson also in a place has referred to a bearded barley which only means ripe to be cut.
Tennyson wrote The Lady Of Shalott at a time when he was starting focusing on themes of human relations, especially man-woman relations. Tennyson's purpose in writing The Lady Of Shalott was to show (and relish) how sometimes a strong magnetic male personality may captivate a fragile woman's life like a passing storm and blow her life to smithereens. Though secluded and cursed, the lady was leading a somewhat tranquil life in the island of Shalott, as can be guessed from the usual sights she sees from her window, indirectly though through a mirror. Sir Lancelot was only passing through the river bank. Just one look at that magnificent personage, and she forgot everything, and looked directly at him through her forbidden window. The Woman has only one purpose; she can do nothing but go away the way the storm went. Knowing not the doom caused by him on her life, seeing her floating dead along the river at Camelot, Sir Lancelot only commented: What a beautiful face! She was only a fallen leaf, shook and blown away by the storm that was him. Such frantic and sudden affections are not uncommon in Literature or in human life either.
These days, they are building the highest building in the world. You'll be able to see it if you go. Also you will be able to see pyramid.
