1798 Choose Coleridge Guest Hear Listen Mariner Rime Tale
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image from a 1798 publication, the figure of the Mariner, dressed in the traditional attire of a sailor from the ancient and medieval periods, compels the Wedding Guest to listen intently to his tale. The Wedding Guest, seated on a stone, appears to be both intrigued and uneasy as the Mariner recounts his experiences, his eyes fixed on the storyteller with rapt attention. The haunting scene is taken from Samuel Taylor Coleridge's famous poem "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," which was first published in 1798. The image captures the essence of the poem's narrative, which explores themes of guilt, redemption, and the supernatural. The Mariner's tale is one that transports the listener to far-off lands and encounters with the unknown, as depicted in the intricately illustrated books that surround the two figures. The image, with its atmospheric setting and intriguing narrative, invites the viewer to join the Wedding Guest in listening to the Mariner's story, and to be transported on a journey of the imagination.
