| Summary: | Guilt defines David Jones's life and work. Its complement there is the forgiveness of sins, to which Jones gives the name "influence." Jones's mature career consists of an effort to face up to the influence of one of English literature's major statements on the relationship between guilt and forgiveness, Coleridge's The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, a poem for which he published copperplate engravings in 1929 and about which he wrote a long essay three decades later. In The Rime Coleridge configures the relationship between guilt and forgiveness as a struggle between prose and poetry. Jones's own prose-gloss on The Rime performs a second-order penance on behalf of the Ancient Mariner by inducing a curvature-Jones's image of the absolving influence of innocent time-in the course of his guilt-ridden history. Poiesis as Jones practices it resolves into the endeavor to incur what might be called guilty forgiveness: the presentation of a particular history as an occasion to expose it to the merciful influence of time. |
