As we gaze upon this enchanting image, we are reminded of Coleridge's timeless words that describe these otherworldly beings appearing in vibrant crimson hues. Each angelic figure is distinct yet harmoniously united, their luminous presence illuminating the darkness surrounding them.

It serves as a visual testament to our innate desire for transcendence beyond physical limitations. This remarkable piece not only showcases Dore's exceptional talent but also pays homage to Coleridge's poetic genius.
