Quote #40

And now there came both mist and snow, And it grew wondrous cold: And ice, mast-high, came floating by, As green as emerald.

More from Samuel Taylor Coleridge

  1. The bride hath paced into the hall, Red as a rose is she.
  2. The ice was here, the ice was there, The ice was all around: It cracked and growled, and roared and howled, Like noises in a swound!
  3. The Wedding-Guest here beat his breast, For he heard the loud bassoon.
  4. 'God save thee, ancient Mariner! From the fiends, that plague thee thus! - Why look'st thou so?' - With my cross-bow I shot the Albatross.
  5. The ship was cheered, the harbour cleared, Merrily did we drop Below the kirk, below the hill, Below the light-house top.
  6. The fair breeze blew, the white foam flew, The furrow followed free: We were the first that ever burst Into that silent sea.
  7. He holds him with his glittering eye - The Wedding-Guest stood still, And listens like a three years child: The Mariner hath his will.
  8. As idle as a painted ship Upon a painted ocean.
