Kindle Notes & Highlights
"The ship was cheered, the harbor cleared, Merrily did we drop Below the kirk, below the hill, Below the lighthouse top.

"God save thee, ancient Mariner! From the fiends, that plague thee thus!— 80 Why look'st thou so?"—"With my cross-bow I shot the Albatross.
Day after day, day after day, 115 We stuck, nor breath nor motion; As idle as a painted ship Upon a painted ocean.
Water, water, every where, And all the boards did shrink; 120 Water, water, every where Nor any drop to drink.
Her lips were red, her looks were free, 190 Her locks were yellow as gold: Her skin was as white as leprosy, The Night-mare Life-in-Death was she, Who thicks man's blood with cold.
Alone, alone, all, all alone, Alone on the wide, wide sea! And never a saint took pity on My soul in agony.
