| A collection of photography, art and images that could be used as inspiration for the character 'Lady Life in Death' within the poem 'Rime of the Ancient Mariner'. A common theme of these images is of 'wispy', ghostly imagery as well as decay of the skin and skeletons. |
"Are those her ribs through which the Sun
Did peer, as through a grate?
And is that Woman all her crew?
Is that a DEATH? and are there two?
Is DEATH that woman's mate?
Her lips were red, her looks were free,
Her locks were yellow as gold:
Her skin was as white as leprosy,
The Nightmare LIFE-IN-DEATH was she,
Who thicks man's blood with cold."
