John William Waterhouse - The Lady Clare, 1900


She clad herself in a russet gown,
She was no longer Lady Clare:
She went by dale, and she went by down,
With a single rose in her hair.

The lily-white doe Lord Ronald had brought
Leapt up from where she lay,
Dropt her head in the maiden's hand,
And follow'd her all the way.
- Tennyson

  1. So lovely:) Enchanting that the white doe appears in several of his paintings.
