EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage engraving by Gustave Dore captures a haunting scene from Samuel Taylor Coleridge's epic poem, "Rime of the Ancient Mariner". In this print titled "I pass like night" we are transported to a world of mystery and despair. The mariner, with his strange power of speech, stops a man on his way to a joyous wedding ceremony and begins to recount his harrowing tale. The 19th-century style illustration showcases the artistry of Dore, who skillfully brings Coleridge's words to life. The image evokes a sense of foreboding as we witness the mariner's journey unfold. Surrounded by only men in this male-dominated era, we see elements such as an axe and tailor's tools that hint at their respective occupations. The print also hints at themes of superstition, history, and hopelessness. It transports us back in time when lumber industry thrived alongside agricultural occupations. The presence of trees and woodlands adds depth to the narrative while emphasizing the ancient nature of this tale. As we gaze upon this fine art painting, it is impossible not to feel captivated by its Victorian charm and historical significance. Duncan1890 has masterfully curated an image that encapsulates both the beauty and darkness found within Coleridge's poetry. This print serves as a reminder that even in our modern age, literature can transport us into realms where luck intertwines with problems and where old-fashioned tales still hold sway over our imaginations.
