The document discusses the legend of "La Belle Dame Sans Merci" and artistic interpretations of the story. The story tells of a knight who meets a beautiful fairy woman who seduces him and invites him back to her cave, where he falls asleep and dreams of other men she has seduced who are now dead. When he wakes, he is alone in the field where the speaker finds him dying. The document then lists several artists who created works interpreting this legend.
