rime of the ancient mariner

There is some Albatross blood on my soul, but I will remember those forgotten men when I could not ask to be remembered. This is the greatest poem ever written. Get a book with this poem and these pictures in it and read one chapter a night to your young children in bed. Once all done, they will understand the warning and want to hear it again. Every time I hear the poem, my eyes fill with guilt. Coleridge was an Anglican.

A novelist is a failed short story writer, and a short story writer is a failed poet. -William Faulkner
