symbolized by a trance or sudden spiritual transfiguration.

                                             Who is this? And what is here?

                                        And in the lighted palace near

                                        Died the sound of royal cheer;

                                       And they crossed themselves for fear,

                                          All the Knights at Camelot;

                                        But Lancelot mused a little space

                                       He said, "She has a lovely face;

                                      God in hus mercy lend her grace,

                                           The Lady of Shalott."
