La Belle Dame Sans Merci
• La Belle Dame Sans Merci by John Keats
• "I met a lady in the meads, Full beautiful
-a faery's child,
Her hair was long, her foot was light,
And her eyes were wild.
I made a garland for her head,
And bracelets too, and fragrant zone;
She looked at me as she did love,
And made sweet moan.
I set her on my pacing steed,
And nothing else saw all day long,
For sidelong would she bend, and sing
A faery's song.
She found me roots of relish sweet,
And honey wild, and manna dew,
And sure in language strange she said
'I love thee true.'"
'La Belle Dame Sans Merci‘ by Frank Cadogan Cowper
'La Belle Sans Merci‘ by Sir Frank Dicksee
'La Belle Sans Merci‘ by John William Waterhouse
La Belle Dame Sans Merci
• La Belle Dame sans Merci
• Ancient stories of humans in love with
unearthly creatures
• Morris—The Hill of Venus
• Swinburne—Laus Veneris
• Frederich de la Motte Fouque’s Undine
• Romanticism and escapism
Romantic Escapism
• The romantic artist seeks refuge in an
imagenary world he has created, refuge
from the pain or tedium of a mundane
existence.
Keats’s La Belle Dame
• William Morris—Keats’s poem was a
germinal poem for his own circle of
Victorian poets
• Title borrowed from Alan Chartier
• Leanage in French literature
• Morgain la Fee
• Femme fatale, Circe, Siren
• Unattainable temptress who keeps her
admirer in a perpetual state of longing
Symbolic Otherworld
• The hero who leaves the world to experience
sensuous and sensual joy in a magic realm
• The belle dame, however, lacks of pity for the
mortal she lures from the world
• The creature excluded from God’s mercy is
to be pitied
• The nature of the other world—a land of
dreams—symbolic value? man’s descent
into his consciousness?—return motif—
disillusion
• met a lady in the meads,
Full beautiful - a faery's child;
Her hair was long, her foot was light,
And her eyes were wild.
•
V
• I set her on my pacing steed,
And nothing else saw all day long,
For sideways would she lean, and sing
A faery's song.
•
VI
• I made a garland for her head,
And bracelets too, and fragrant zone;
She look'd at me as she did love,
And made sweet moan.
• VII
• She found me roots of relish sweet,
And honey wild, and manna dew;
And sure in language strange she said 'I love thee true.'
•
VIII
• She took me to her elfin grot,
And there she gazed, and sighed deep,
And there I shut her wild wild eyes
So kiss'd to sleep.
•
IX
• And there we slumber'd on the moss,
And there I dream'd - Ah! woe betide!
The latest dream I ever dream'd
On the cold hill side.
• X
• I saw pale kings, and princes too,
Pale warriors, death-pale were they all;
They cried - 'La Belle Dame sans Merci
Hath thee in thrall!'
•
XI
• I saw their starved lips in the gloam,
With horrid warning gaped wide,
And I awoke, and found me here
On the cold hill side.
•
XII
• And this is why I sojourn here,
Alone and palely loitering,
Though the sedge is wither'd from the lake,
And no birds sing.
• Published
I
• Ah, what can ail thee, wretched wight,
Alone and palely loitering?
The sedge is wither'd from the lake,
And no birds sing.
•
II
• Ah, what can ail thee, wretched wight,
So haggard and so woe-begone?
The squirrel's granary is full,
And the harvest's done.
•
III
• I see a lily on thy brow,
With anguish moist and fever dew;
And on thy cheek a fading rose
Fast withereth too.
Swinburne’s Faustine
• Let me go over your good gifts
That crown you queen;
A queen whose kingdom ebbs and shifts
Each week, Faustine.
Bright heavy brows well gathered up;
White gloss and sheen;
Carved lips that make my lips a cup
To drink, Faustine,
Wine and rank poison, milk and blood,
Being mixed therein
Since first the devil threw dice with God
For you, Faustine....
• As if your fed sarcophagus
Spared flesh and skin,
You come back face to face with us,
The same Faustine.
She loved the games men played with death,
Where death must win;
As though the slain man's blood and breath
Revived Faustine.
Nets caught the pike, pikes tore the net;
Lithe limbs and lean
From drained-out pores dripped thick red sweat
To soothe Faustine.
The Lady of Shalott
Alfred Lord Tennyson

•
But in her web she still delights
To weave the mirror's magic sights,
For often through the silent nights
A funeral, with plumes and lights
And music, went to Camelot:
Or when the moon was overhead,
Came two young lovers lately wed;
"I am half sick of shadows," said
The Lady of Shalott. (Part 2)

“Why did you melt your waxen man
Sister Helen?”
“To-day is the third since you began.”
“The time was long, yet the time ran,
Little brother."
(O Mother, Mary Mother,
Three days to-day, between Hell and Heaven!)
"But if you have done your work aright,
Sister Helen,
You'll let me play, for you said I might."
"Be very still in your play to-night,
Little brother."
(O Mother, Mary Mother,
Third night, to-night, between Hell and Heaven!)

風
格
• The Pre-Raphaelites, being young, talented, and having
many ideas of their own, felt stifled by the rigidity of the
Royal Academy's idea of what tasteful, beautiful art
should be. The PRB held the haughty belief that the only
true great art came from before the 16th century Italian
painter, Raphael (hence the society's name). Raphael
represented high renaissance, a time when painters,
instead of letting their subjects dictate their qualities to
the artist, would manipulate the subject into their own
ideal of beauty. Thus, all realism was lost. The PRB, with
full spirit, denounced this art of idealization, and led the
way to produce works based on real landscapes and real
models, and paid intense attention to accuracy of detail
and color.

What is so special about their art?
• These painters had a specific agenda.
Instead of painting the typical still-lifes,
landscapes and seascapes, they drew their
subject matters from medieval tales, bible
stories, classical mythology, and nature.
Using bright colors on a white background,
the artists were able to achieve great depth
and brilliance.
