Folk Lore Helped Nymph Severn Sabrina
EDITORS COMMENTS
Milton's Vision of Sabrina: A Folk Tale of the River Severn This enchanting image captures the moment when the legendary nymph Sabrina, goddess of the River Severn, is assisted by one of her devoted attendants. The scene is inspired by the poet John Milton's 17th-century narrative poem, "Comus," in which Milton describes Sabrina's ethereal beauty and her mystical powers over the river. Sabrina, the nymph of the River Severn, is a figure deeply rooted in the rich history and folk lore of Wales and the English Marches. According to the myth, Sabrina was a beautiful water spirit who lived in the Severn River. She was said to have the power to calm the waters and protect the fishermen and sailors who plied their trade on the river. In this print, Sabrina is depicted as a graceful and otherworldly figure, her long, flowing hair cascading down her back as she stands in the river. Her attendant, a fellow nymph or perhaps a wise water spirit, helps her to navigate the currents, ensuring that she remains safe and in control of her domain. The intricate details of the image, from the delicate folds of Sabrina's gown to the swirling patterns of the water, transport us back to a time when the natural world was believed to be alive with magic and wonder. This print is a beautiful reminder of the enduring power of myth and folklore to captivate our imaginations and inspire us to appreciate the beauty and mystery of the natural world around us.
