The Lady of Shalott, Snape, poetry, Tennyson
...
By the margin, willow veil'd,
Slide the heavy barges trail'd
By slow horses; and unhail'd
The shallop flitteth silken-sail'd
Skimming down to Camelot:
But who hath seen her wave her hand?
Or at the casement seen her stand?
Or is she known in all the land,
The Lady of Shalott?

While in Suffolk, we took some time out to walk near Snape, site of the famous
Snape Maltings concert hall established by
Benjamin Britten.
We took a route known as the Sailor's Path and we had a particular interest. Along the path are a series of
clay pots and other installations made by and under the direction of artist
Jonathan Keep (who happens to be a friend of my family).
My attention was caught primarily by the installation called
Crossed paths - salt and earth. I found this to be quite beautiful in its simplicity and its integration with the field upon which it sits.
