“The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” by Samuel Taylor Coleridge is a poem that speaks of a lone sailor who survives a harrowing voyage at sea. As a result of returning from his disastrous journey, the mariner prevents a guest from entering a wedding in order to share with him his story of escaping death and learning to value every living creature. Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s poem, “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner,” is a truly creative work that utilizes characteristics of Romanticism and the ballad form by including powerful images of nature and the supernatural, as well as a profound sense of spirituality.
