Description | Ariel from 'The Tempest' by Shakespeare stands on the edge of a raging storm, her mouth agape in fear. The vines in her hair are from the tree in which she was trapped by her old master (the one previous to Prospero) As the play says:
'And, for thou wast a spirit too delicate To act her earthy and abhorr'd commands, Refusing her grand hests, she did confine thee, By help of her more potent ministers, And in her most unmitigable rage, Into a cloven pine ; within which rift Imprison'd thou didst painfully remain A dozen years ; within which space she died, And left thee there, where thou didst vent thy groans As fast as mill-wheels strike.' |
