Rime of the ancient mariner
"The ice was here, the ice was there,
The ice was all around:
It cracked and growled, and roared and howled,
Like noises in a swound!
At length did cross an Albatross,
Thorough the fog it came;
As if it had been a Christian soul,
We hailed it in God's name.
It ate the food it ne'er had eat,
And round and round it flew.
The ice did split with a thunder-fit;
The helmsman steered us through!
And a good south wind sprung up behind;
The Albatross did follow,
And every day, for food or play,
Came to the mariner's hollo!"
...and then everything started to go wrong... :)
This image is inspired by the poem "Rime of the ancient mariner" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Me and Eli are having an ongoing challenge to create images inspired by poems or song lyrics, and this poem was selected by me. It is one of my favorites, and I have loved it since I was first introduced to it by the band Iron Maiden. Their epic song based on the poem was pretty influential on 10-year old me...
