    '"I am half sick of shadows," said
    The Lady of Shalott.'

    Your voice makes me feel like I am living in the Victorian era💓. In fact, I am from Iraq, tenth grade students in Iraq are studying this poem in English literature. I did not know that the poem was so famous and wonderful.🍃

    This is the first time I've heard this poem all the way through. I was aware of the poem because of Anne of Green Gables and her embarrassing adventure in the rowboat, but when I tried to read it I couldn't enjoy it.
    My speed reading, which helps me enjoy massive amounts of fiction and is very convenient for nonfiction, gets in the way of poetry.
    Recently I finished Agatha Christie's "The mirror cracked from side to side" and searched for a way to listen to the poem instead of reading it.
    It was wonderful, thank you!

    I adore how you voice this. It sounds like a constant sigh, a loss and a regret. I feel that Tennyson would be proud of you-especially the ‘half sick of shadows’! It’s so great that you have this talent.

    There she weaves by night and day
    A magic web with colours gay.
    She has heard a whisper say,
    A curse is on her if she stay
    To look down to Camelot.
    She knows not what the curse may be,
    And so she weaveth steadily,
    And little other care hath she,
    The Lady of Shalott.

    Such grace within this poem and in poetry in general, all poetry has a message that we can all learn from, poets put such heart into their work, and skill, and masterpieces this is no short an example of that. ☺️
