MEANING OF
PHRASE

s. AS idle as a painted ship
"A upon painted ocean.
The quotation comes from Cole
ridges Ancient Mariner" but
by some it is thought to date
back to an earlier period.
Whatever its actual beginning
may be. it is of interest to note
the development of the word,
idle" According to Skeats, the
word has passed through series
of many changes. He says that
originally it meant clear, then
pure. mere, sheer. and then vain,
and finally unimportant. 1t is
not a far step from this meaning
to useless. inactive. or motionless.
Coleridge evidently used the word
in this sense.
