Insights
The rose is inspired by the eponymous poem by Alfred Lord Tennyson, in which the Victorian Poet Laureate retells the tragic Arthurian tale of a young noblewoman, who is confined to a tower overlooking Camelot. Under a curse, she can only see the world through a mirror and inevitably and fatally transgresses.
