Coleridge is the only English Romantic poet I like, and Rime of the Ancient Mariner is the main reason. However, this collection also contains another long poem that is often overlooked--Christabel. This a very haunting poem which was unfortunately unfinished when Coleridge died. As for the rest of the selections, Kubla Khan is really the only short poem of the same quality as Rime of the Ancient Mariner.

Reading parts of the biography I came to the conclusion that Coleridge must have been an endearing and pleasant person, still widely acknowledged for structure and romantic atmosphere of his poems. After reading the "ancient mariner", "Kubla Khan", Christabel (probably his most famous works) and some of the others I must confess that I wonder why.
OK, the "mariner" is beautifully rhymed (Warning: never read the horrible German translations), but the story and moral are dubious. The mariner shoots an albatros with his cross-bow and, as a consequence, his ship meets a "ghostly vessel" (Wikipedia), his men fall dead and he himself is cursed to "endure a fate worse than death", i.e. take part in the wedding and telling his story to a wedding-guest (OK, I'm jesting) and wandering around and telling people his story (if they want or don't want to listen). The moral is: Never shoot or kill an albatros or any other kind of "man and bird and beast" (not even a cockroach or a mosquito). Sorry, can't agree there.
Christabel (which wasn't finished because of Coleridge's death) is an old-fashioned poem of the nightly encounter of two women on the countryside.
Kubla Khan, poem about the grandson of Genghis Khan, is the worst of the three.

Timeless Classics
21. Januar 2003
Format:Bibliothekseinband|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This review refers to "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Other Poems" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge....
Get swept away to a world of dreams in this beautiful collection of Coleridge's best poetry.Open this book to any poem and you will immediatly be transported to fantastick worlds and mysterious voyages.You will find no need to get caught up in trying to anaylze, you'll just be caught up in his words.The reader can identify their own experiences within his works, and make their own interpertations.
Coleridge will stir your imagination with such great works as the adventurous and ghostly voyage of "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner"(in the entire 7 parts),the dream land of "Kubla Khan", and my personal favorite,the sadly unfinished other worldly fairy tale of "Christabel".
You'll find many others of his classic poetry that emcompasses both worlds of dreams and reality. "The Pain of Sleep", ""The Fruit Plucker" and "Time, Real and Imaginary" are examples of these.Other works included are "If I Had But Two Little Wings","Songs from 'Zapolya'", "Youth and Age", and the beautiful "Frost at Midnight", all stories of love and life.
There are many more wonderful writings to be found here and they are both ageless and to be enjoyed by any age. There are poems to be read aloud almost as songs.There are poems to read to yourself as well.
"He prayeth best, who loveth best
All things both great and small;
For the dear God who loveth us,
He made and loveth all."...
From"The Ancient Marnier"
A great gift for yourself or the poetry lover in your life...enjoy..Laurie

True Conservation Story
15. Dezember 2010
Format:Kindle Edition|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
The Ancient Mariner is a story with a message. A truly modern message. It is a conservation story. But if it were written today it would be published by the MBS (Mind Body Spirit )section of the publishing world. It is all about the consequences of unnecessarily harming one of Nature's creatures. The Mariner kills an albatross for no reason whatever. He suffers physical, spiritual and mental (MBS again) anguish as his punishment.
All the other crew members on the ship are allowed to die just for condoning what he did, but death is an easier punishment than the 'life-in-death' the mariner himself is doomed to endure.
The message is stressed in the lines at the end, 'He prayeth best, who loveth best all things both great and small; for the dear God who loveth us he made and loveth all.'
The Mariner's deliverance from the most intense part of his physical suffering does not begin until the moment he learns to love the loathsome slimy creatures he sees crawling 'with legs upon the slimy sea'
His punishment is life-long since he must spend the rest of his days roaming the earth and spreading his conservation message to the world.
This is my favourite poem. I learned it by heart and remember reciting it during long night watches when I was a young sailor exploring the Pacific. It takes half an hour to recite the whole poem, but the language is pure joy on the tongue. The poem has influenced my life. One of my favourite verses is:
'The fair breeze blew, the white foam flew
The furrow followed free;
We were the first that ever burst
Into that silent sea.'
I know what it feels like to sail like that in the Pacific. They must have struck the south-east trades.
But there is another verse which is a study in perfect suspense writing. It begins . . .
"We listened and looked sideways up!
Fear at my heart as at a cup,
My life-blood seemed to sip!
I recommend you read and re-red this story and that we all take its message on board. It is more relevant and important today than ever before with mankind killing off hundreds of species every year.
