That agony returns:
And till my ghastly tale is told,
This heart within me burns.”

We stuck, nor breath nor motion;
As idle as a painted ship
Upon a painted ocean.”

Her locks were yellow as gold:
Her skin was white as leprosy,
The Nightmare Life-in-Death was she,
Who thicks man's blood with cold.”

Alone on a wide wide sea!
And never a saint took pity on
My soul in agony.”

And is of sense forlorn:
A sadder and a wiser man
He rose the morrow morn.”

“Swiftly, swiftly flew the ship,
Yet she sailed softly too:
Sweetly, sweetly blew the breeze -
On me alone it blew.”
― Samuel Taylor Coleridge, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner

“Down dropt the breeze, the sails dropt down,
'Twas sad as sad could be;
And we did speak only to break
The silence of the sea!

All in a hot and copper sky,
The bloody Sun, at noon,
Right up above the mast did stand,
No bigger than the Moon.

Day after day, day after day,
We stuck, nor breath nor motion;
As idle as a painted ship
Upon a painted ocean.”
― Samuel Taylor Coleridge, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Other Poems
