''[[The Rime of the Ancient Mariner]]'' by [[Samuel Taylor Coleridge]] is probably one of the [[Small Reference Pools|most-referenced]] pieces of [[Romanticism|Romantic]] poetry. Ever heard "''Water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink''"? Yup, it's from here (although [[Beam Me Up, Scotty|in the original text it's ''nor any drop to drink'']]). It is a relatively long [[Narrative Poem]] about a disaster-prone ship, enclosed in a [[Framing Device]] where the sailor who cursed it is describing his travels to a guest at a wedding. It's notable for its religious and naturalistic themes and for having a lot in common with Gothic literature. The poem is divided into 7 sections, each dealing with a different part of the Mariner's journey. |
