Lady of Shalott

Alfred Tennyson's poem is based on the short story “La donna di Scalotta”, which reports the case of a lady who, by charm, lives enclosed in her bedroom. She would die immediately if she had contact with the outside world, as it came to happen.

O poema de Alfred Tennyson baseia-se no conto “La donna di Scalotta”, o qual relata o caso duma dama que, por encanto, vive encerrada no seu quarto. Morreria no momento em que contactasse o mundo exterior, como veio a suceder.
