I love medieval history. This painting The Lady of Shalott is an 1888 oil-on-canvas painting by the English Pre-Raphaelite painter John William Waterhouse looks almost exactly like me when I was 20 years old. I have always loved medieval history. Tennyson wrote a poem in 1832
http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poem/174626 about it. Although they are 19th century works, they are about medieval times.
If i had to choose a poem though to describe how I feel, it would be
Sudden Light, by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, written around the same time.
I have been here before,
But when or how I cannot tell:
I know the grass beyond the door,
The sweet keen smell,
The sighing sound, the lights around the shore.
You have been mine before,—
How long ago I may not know:
But just when at that swallow's soar
Your neck turn'd so,
Some veil did fall,—I knew it all of yore.
Has this been thus before?
And shall not thus time's eddying flight
Still with our lives our love restore
In death's despite,
And day and night yield one delight once more?
