About

I met a Lady
Full beautiful, a faerys child;
Her hair was long.
She took me to her elfin grot
And there we slumbered on the moss.

Excerpted from
La Belle Dame sans Merci
Keats-1819

Murille is about artistic vision and sensual awakening; the story of a young model coming of age while sitting for one of John William Waterhouse’s most popular works of art, La Belle Dame sans Merci, 1893, (front cover) inspired by his model and based on the poem by Keats
