The Rime of the Ancient Mariner-Part VI - Video
PUBLISHED:  Oct 06, 2011
DESCRIPTION:
Part VI of the poem. The following is excerpted from Coleridge's gloss:

The Polar Spirit's fellow-daemons, the invisible in habitants of the element, take part in his wrong; and two of them relate, one to the other, that penance long and heavy for the ancient Mariner hath been accorded to the Polar Spirit, who returneth southward. The Mariner hath been cast into a trance; for the angelic power causeth the vessel to driver northward faster than human life could endure. The supernatural motion is retarded; the Mariner awakes, and his penance begins anew. The curse is finally expiated. And the ancient Mariner beholdeth his native country. The angelic spirits leave the dead bodies, And appear in their own forms of light.
