Funeral del Príncipe Vikingo - Justice League Unlimited

To Another Shore / Justice League Unlimited

En el capítulo cuarto de la tercera temporada de Justice League Unlimited (2005)Wonder Woman lee un fragmento de La Canción del Viejo Marinero, de Coleridge, en el funeral por el Príncipe Vikingo (Viking Prince), que también sirve de despedida de J'onn J'onnz, que debe emprender su propio viaje para aprender más sobre la raza humana. Ambos son viajes "a la otra orilla".


And now, all in my own countree,

I stood on the firm land !

The Hermit stepped forth from the boat,

And scarcely he could stand.


'O shrieve me, shrieve me, holy man!'

The Hermit crossed his brow.

'Say quick,' quoth he, 'I bid thee say--

What manner of man art thou?'


Forthwith this frame of mine was wrenched

With a woful agony,

Which forced me to begin my tale;

And then it left me free.


Since then, at an uncertain hour

That agony returns:

And till my ghastly tale is told,

This heart within me burns.


I pass, like night, from land to land;

I have strange power of speech;

That moment that his face I see,

I know the man that must hear me :

To him my tale I teach.
