Excerpt from The Poetical Works of S. T. Coleridge, Vol. 2 of 3: Including the Dramas of Wallenstein, Remorse, and Zapolya The Ancient Mariner. He holds him with his glittering eye -The wedding-guest stood still, And listens like a three years child: The Mariner hath his will. The wedding-guest sat on a stone: He cannot chuse but hear;And thus spake on that ancient man, The bright-eyed mariner. The ship was cheered, the harbour cleared, Merrily did we dropBelow the kirk, below the hill, Below the light house top. The Sun came up upon the left, Out of the sea came he!And he shone bright, and on the rightWent down into the sea. Higher and higher every day, Till over the mast at noon -The Wedding-Guest here beat his breast, For he heard the loud bassoon.

Paperback. Condition: NEW. Print on Demand. This book takes the reader on a journey through the human experience, exploring themes of hope, loss, and redemption through a captivating tale. The author expertly uses a unique narrative style, drawing on literary traditions of the Romantic era, to create a world that is both fantastical and profoundly real. The story follows a mariner who, after a fateful encounter with an albatross, faces the consequences of his actions in the form of a supernatural curse. The reader is invited to witness the mariner's spiritual descent into isolation and despair, and then his arduous journey toward forgiveness and a renewed sense of connection to the natural world. This book's exploration of guilt, isolation, and the search for meaning resonates with readers today as powerfully as it did in the author's own time. The author's masterful use of imagery and language captures the essence of the human condition and challenges us to consider our own responsibility to the world around us.
