The ship among the icebergs above is close enough to a scene in the third Pirates of the Caribbean<\/em> film to have maybe been an influence, while the ice-bound section of the poem inspired one of Dor\u00e9’s few paintings<\/a>.<\/p>\n Art Passions<\/a> has a complete set of these engravings together with many more of the artist’s works. And while we’re on the subject, two of Harry Clarke’s surviving Ancient Mariner<\/em> drawings appeared in a post last year<\/a>.
