    Beautiful, the twining of the ribbon, the symbol of infinity, acceptance of the human condition, your capacity for expressive imagery is stunning. Perfect composition, you have a soulful talent.

    Very good insight…Waterhouse….
    And down the river’s dim expanse…..

    The Lady of Shalott

    Like some bold seer in a trance,
    Seeing all his own mischance—
    With glassy countenance
    Did she look to Camelot.
    And at the closing of the day
    She loosed the chain, and down she lay;
    The broad stream bore her far away,
    The Lady of Shalott

    From part IV of Tennyson’s poem
