The Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Other Poems Quotes

“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

“He prayeth well, who loveth well Both man and bird and beast.”
― Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Coleridge's Ancient Mariner and Select Poems

“dissonant”
― Samuel Taylor Coleridge, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Kubla Khan, Christabel, and the Conversation Poems
