Poem quote

[GeorgieD]

Have had a quote sent to me from a pem - "willows whisper, aspens quivver", any idea what the poem is? Thanks, GeorgieD

[SarahBelle]

GeorgieD ....Willows whiten, aspens quiver, Little breezes dusk and shiver .... Is from Lincolnshire born, Alfred, Lord Tennyson's fabulous poem, 'The Lady Of Shallot'. SarahBelle

[GeorgieD]

Thanks SarahBelle. I could kick myself! Have you seen the painting?

[SarahBelle]

GeorgieD - Are you talking about the famous Waterhouse one - yes I have at The Tate, several years ago. What about you? Are you interested in art?

[GeorgieD]

Yep - saw it at The Tate too. Was with my best mate and she was really impressed with it! Love art. You?

[SarahBelle]

GeorgieD - Yes too much. My favourites are the pre-raphs and other Victorian stuff. What about you? If you are interested consider joining The Pre-Raphaelite Society. They have a website. SarahBelle

[GeorgieD]

Thanks SarahBelle - will look that up as my favourites are pre-raphs, impressionism and some modern (the ones I understand!) Gotta go now but will catch up with you again? Nice talking to someone who knows what they are talking about! U sound a nice sort of person! TTFN

[SarahBelle]

GeorgieD - I think there is a message board on this site, so maybe we can get on that and discuss pre-raph art further. Keep in touch. SarahBelle.

[SarahBelle]

GeorgieD - Ignore the above - I don't know what I am on about. SarahBelle
