Pictures

On the right hand side of my blog, I have included some of Gustave Dore's illustrations for "Rime of the Ancient Mariner". The pictures I have chosen to include are a combination of my personal favorites (particularly the game of "Liar's Dice" between Death and Life-in-Death at the bottom) and crucial moments in the narrative (such as the death of the sacred Albatross). These etchings by Dore have fascinated me for months, and in fact inspired me to create my own animation (based on these drawings)! I think you will agree they are quite beautiful.
