Bearing on my shallop - A Moonlit Journey Through the Arabian Nights
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this illustration by the renowned artist Florence Harrison, we are transported to the enchanting world of the Arabian Nights through Tennyson's evocative poem, "Bearing on my shallop." The scene unfolds under the gentle glow of the moon, casting a silver sheen upon the tranquil river and the small shallop bearing its solitary occupant. The boy in the illustration, dressed in traditional Middle Eastern attire, gazes intently at the night sky as he expertly navigates the boat. The lantern held aloft in his hand illuminates the water around him, creating a mesmerizing contrast between the dark water and the golden light. The moon, almost full and radiant, watches over the scene, its ethereal beauty reflected in the still water. The peaceful serenity of the night is broken only by the gentle lapping of the water against the sides of the boat and the distant calls of nocturnal creatures. The atmosphere is one of wonder and adventure, as if the boy is on the cusp of discovering some great secret hidden within the Arabian Nights. Florence Harrison's illustration masterfully brings Tennyson's poem to life, immersing us in a world of magic and mystery. The intricate details of the shallop, the boy's clothing, and the moonlit landscape all contribute to a sense of timeless beauty and enchantment. This illustration is a testament to Harrison's artistic skill and her ability to capture the essence of Tennyson's poetry. As we gaze upon this image, we are invited to embark on our own journey through the Arabian Nights, guided by the gentle light of the moon and the boundless imagination of Tennyson and Florence Harrison.
