Lady of Shallot by Sir Alfred Tennyson sung by Loreena McKennitt The story calls to us of the Scottish Queen, a woman isolated for years in the Castle Tower performing her needlework in meditative intensity. Both a longing for the wider world but a sense of curse should she attempt once more to escape from the confined reality. The Queen could see Elizabeth was drawing the net tighter still, returned as she was to Tutbury ruins in winters freeze under the menacing Paulet as jailor. The end would be soon from poisoned wine or English noose. The letter arrives tempting again with promise of rescue and release, the gamble to respond she takes. The mirror of imprisoned state then cracked from side to side, to her divine Lords eternal embrace for to abide.
