The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
5.0
Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s poems can by now be categorised as some of the classic writings in English litterateur. Reading this was a tad bit difficult, but I’m glad I held on to the last page.
Reading the title poem, The Poem of the Ancient Mariner, places me somewhere rocking along on a quiet ocean with the smell of seaweed caught in my nose. I liked this poem a lot despite its slightly cryptic build.
The ‘other poems’-part was also worth the read. Some more than other. There was a poem of him as he sets his eyes on his newborn child for the first time. There was one of the jealousy between women, although I would argue, it could be interpreted differently as well.
I liked this book. And if you’re looking for a rhyme-and-rhythm collection, this collection might be for you.
