[@anon4275]

I read this poem when I was 8 years old after I heard Iron Maiden's song. I absolutely fell in love with it and I'd later get my English degree largely because of this poem. On another note I read The Raven at the same age after seeing Tim Burton's short Vincent Malloy. Again, I fell in love with the poem and it launched me towards my degree. In short, you can thank Iron Maiden and Tim Burton for introducing me to great literature and eventually my degree.

@@asurlybarber3620 My dad totally bought off on the Satanic Panic crap back then but he was also a womanizing drunk who abused my older brother and left when I was nine. Fortunately my mom wasn't as strict, so as long as my brother and I weren't shoving the music or movies in her face she was too tired to fight it. Between metal, horror, and comic books I learned a lot about literature. I mean what kid DIDN'T want to know what the hell uncanny meant and why it described the X-Men?

[@alexjager4517]

Thats great. I'll have to investigate the iron maiden song. I saw them with judas priest. I had a friend who could recite this poem almost in its entirety. She never went to college, but what a beautiful mind. She could also sing all these show tunes, which I found annoying on our long drives.

This version was published in 1798 in the Lyric Ballads book that he and Wordsworth worked on together. Later on, in 1817, he would go to change certain phrases and spelling after the poem gained its popularity and also added a "marginal gloss" to help one understand it better.

“The Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner” is an allegory that symbolises the inherent struggle of humans facing the ideas of sin and redemption. ... Because of this belief, a sin against Nature was seen as a sin against good or God. Much the same as Milton's epic; another allegorical poem about good and evil.

I have done this poem amongst the Romantic poems in our M.A. Literature one of the the most expressive of poems with its glittering eye and Cormorants I don't remember it was so long. Thanks for sharing this video.

[@GG256_]

This poem is absolute fire. I like hearing it aloud but it's fun to read as well, because rhythmically it lacks 100% continuity and that was an awesome creative choice. It's the antithesis of say, writing a piece of structurally sound music. (Not lyrics.) You have to make sure things fit exactly in the time/pocket and serve the intended purpose. Verbally here, when the description adds extra adjectives or even entire lines, (creating a sort of stylistic coloring outside with the words with the stanza patterns.) It activates the areas of my brain that I feel when I play my instruments, (or do any task that requires high concentration) but nets positive feedback. It's a remarkable piece of literature really, partially because it doesn't always adhere to the same pentameter and focuses on expression first. Also, the message of cherishing life on Earth through a Christian lense resonates with me. The visual aspect is the main focus obviously. I mean, damn. Even the simpler lines like the ship being painted still on the ocean, (rhyming motion with ocean.) are remarkably simple yet so effectively vivid. Lurid even, in the more horrific parts. Juxtaposing color palates to portray narrative tone in scenes was just, almost perfect. Oily green and blue seas, cool somber colors, etc... Contrasted to the crimson shapes of one's home. Dope. 10/10 would recommend. You'd think this guy was a famous poet or something. :P

[@bartarkis]

I came here to listen to the entire poem because of the book I'm reading. The truth and beauty by Klavan. He uses parts of the poem in the book to demonstrate certain ways of thinking through things. Interesting book. Thanks for posting this.

I’m here for the same reason, albeit a different book. The poem is repeatedly referenced in Frankenstein.

[@bartarkis]

Frankenstein gets mentioned in TandB. I didn't know it was kind of an assignment Mary Shelley took on in the group of future famous authors. Is the Rhyme mentioned in Frankenstein?

[@kangaroo9816]

@@bartarkis Yes, at least twice! I’ve only read a third of the book so far and might’ve missed some earlier, less obvious references though. Here’s the first mention: “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.” You will smile at my allusion (…).“ And the direct quotation that made me look up the poem: “Like one who, on a lonely road, Doth walk in fear and dread, And, having once turned round, walks on, And turns no more his head; Because he knows a frightful fiend Doth close behind him tread.“ (This is used as comparison for Frankenstein’s anxious wanderings on the night after he brought his monster to life.) The two works definitely match in tone and message. 😩

[@johnhoward6393]

Around 500 AD and ongoing, the Saxons, Angles, and Jutes began their migrations/invasions of the British Isles. Their early tribal Germanic languages spread throughout the islands. Vikings/Norsemen raided the islands, some stayed on, but most went back to their homelands. A variety of Germanic languages took hold as the Anglo-Saxon settlements and culture spread and grew together with the older cultures and languages of England over time. This was common in Europe and was continued when the Americas were settled. Various Germanic syntax and vocabulary fused with the older ones. We have liberty from the Romans and freedom from the Germanic tribes, for example. But we use them differently. Give me freedom or give me death doesn't work as well as give me liberty or give me death. In the time of Coleridge, many of the original Germanic words were still in use. by 1066 the Norsemen had become Normans and began their invasion/migration to the land of the Angles, England.
