Helen Dearnley, ‘The Lady of Shalott – doll’, mixed media, July 2009. 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.
