"She left the web, she left the loom, She made three paces thro' the room"

I’m frustrated.  

  

I write when I’m frustrated.   

This song was on the radio in the car a few weeks ago and I feel in love with it.

Listen to it.

Then, listen to the band’s explanation of the song.

The theme of Tennyson’s poem “The Lady of Shallot” is brought up throughout the music video. Often seen as anti-feminist, I’m one of those that argue the feminist side of the poem. 

What’s my point?

First read the poem; then I’ll make my point.

Either version. http://www.lib.rochester.edu/camelot/shalcomb.htm

“She left the web, she left the loom,

She made three paces thro' the room,

She saw the water-lily bloom,

She saw the helmet and the plume,

                 She look'd down to Camelot.

Out flew the web and floated wide;

The mirror crack'd from side to side;

"The curse is come upon me," cried

                 The Lady of Shalott.”

The Lady breaks away from her imprisonment, knowing her glimpse at living, that moment of freedom was worth being cursed. 

My point:

Live.

Love.

See that time doesn’t last forever.
