A short summary of the poem The Rime of the Ancient Mariner:
The consequences of callously killing the albatross.
My favorite Samuel Taylor Coleridge quote from the poem:
"The many men, so beautiful! And they all dead did lie: And a thousand thousand slimy things lived on, and so did I."
Questions to ponder while reading the poem:
What have you done that has irrevocably altered your life?
What cruelty have you committed simply because you could?
My review of The Rime of the Ancient Mariner:
Ah! The regret of immature actions.
Every living being has a purpose.
You never know what you will hear if you stop and listen.
