LADY OF SHALOTT

LADY OF SHALOTT was a maiden of great beauty who is the subject of a poem by Tennyson. She was in love with Lancelot, who died because her love was not returned.

She wove a web which she must not rise from, otherwise a curse would fall on her. She saw Lancelot pass one day, entered a boat and glided down to Camelot, but died on the way.
