The Lady of the Lake - redux


Recently, on an early morning exercise walk in Hidden Lakes subdivision in Mt. Pleasant, S.C., I observed a lady pause in her walk to stand at the edge of the water and gaze through the mist at a gazebo in the lake and the many birds resting on the roof. This called to mind “The Lady of the Lake,” Sir Walter Scott’s 200 year old poem set in the Scottish Highlands which retold the 16th century legend of a family banished and restored.
