“No time hath she to sport and play:
A charmèd web she weaves alway.
A curse is on her, if she stay
Her weaving, either night or day,
To look down to Camelot.
She knows not what the curse may be,
Therefore she weaveth steadily,
Therefore no other care hath she,
The Lady of Shalott…”
~Alfred, Lord Tennyson, 1832
and the taste of dried-up hopes in my mouth
and the landscape of merry and desperate drought
how much longer dear angels, let winterlight come
and spread your white sheets over my empty house
Gina Beck as Christine Daaé
Inspired by Drought by Vienna Teng
