pages 1-47 (chapters 1-5)
Elaine Harrison was named after her moms favorite poem the Lady of Shalott
First two Stanzas from the Poem/Ballad
On either side the river lie
Long fields of barley and of rye,
That clothe the wold and meet the sky;
And through the field the road run by
To many-tower'd Camelot;
And up and down the people go,
Gazing where the lilies blow
Round an island there below,
The island of Shalott.
Willows whiten, aspens quiver,
Little breezes dusk and shiver
Through the wave that runs for ever
By the island in the river
Flowing down to Camelot.
Four grey walls, and four grey towers,
Overlook a space of flowers,
And the silent isle imbowers
The Lady of Shalott.
This section of the poem is setting up the whole setting of Camelot. With the flowers in bloom on an island, it seems like its spring time, and then there it is the huge castle of Camelot, with The Lady of Shalott (Elaine) inside.
