In mydailyartdisplay.wordpress.com/the-bard-by-john-martin, "Jonathan" connects the painting to like its connection to the poem The Bard written by by Thomas Gray in 1755: ... On a rock, whose haughty brow Frowns o’er cold Conway’s foaming flood, Robed in the sable garb of woe With haggard eyes the Poet stood; ... "Enough for me: with joy I see The diff’rent doom our fates assign. Be thine Despair and sceptred Care; To triumph and to die are mine." He spoke, and headlong from the mountain’s height Deep in the roaring tide he plunged to endless night. ... The poem and the painting may have been an inspiration to Lewis Carroll and Henry Holiday in The Hunting of the Snark: 545 Erect and sublime, for one moment of time. 546 In the next, that wild figure they saw 547 (As if stung by a spasm) plunge into a chasm,548 While they waited and listened in awe. |
