Line 8:
* The Mariner appears as a character in ''[[Keys to the Kingdom]]'' by Garth Nix.
* ''[[Serenity]]'' has an extended comparison between River and the albatross.
{{quote| '''Mal''': Yes, I've read a poem. Try not to faint.}}
* At the end of ''[[Animorphs]]'', Marco compares Jake's survivor guilt to "the Ancient Mariner and his albatross".
* One ''[[Monty Python's Flying Circus]]'' sketch has a carnival vendor who has an albatross around his neck--because he's selling them.
* ''[[Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency]]'' uses this as a major plot point.
* The original ''[[Frankenstein (novel)|Frankenstein]]'' by [[Mary Shelley]] references the poem several times. At one point the narrator even explicitly says:
{{quote| "I am going to unexplored regions, to 'the land of mist and snow'; but I shall kill no albatross; therefore do not be alarmed for my safety or if I should come back to you as worn and woeful as the 'Ancient Mariner.'"}}
* Referenced a couple of times in ''[[Welkin Weasels]]''.
* Rather stealthily in ''[[Golden Sun]]: The Lost Age'', where you find a Djinni named Rime in the older part of Lemuria... home of the [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old|ancient]] mariner Piers.
