Mariner
stops one of
three on his
way to a
wedding.
The Rime of the
Ancient Mariner

3. “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!”
The Rime of the
Ancient Mariner

4. The Rime of the
Ancient Mariner
The wedding
guest is
mesmerized by
the Mariner’s
passion and
begins listening
to the story.

Their ship is
driven south, by
a storm, to a
place of “mist
and snow.”

by ice.

albatross
appears.

8. The
albatross
leads them
out of the
fog.
The Rime of the
Ancient Mariner

9. The Mariner shoots
the albatross. At
first the crew
condemns him, but
when a favorable
breeze appears,
they justify his
action. This
implicates them in
his crime.
The Rime of the
Ancient Mariner

10. Later, the wind stops and
the ship is stranded for
days, “As idle as a
painted ship upon a
painted ocean.”
“Water, water, every
where, and all the boards
did shrink; Water, water,
every where, nor any drop
to drink.”
The crew blames the
Mariner for no wind and
hangs the albatross
around his neck as
punishment.

Ancient Mariner

11. A ghost ship
approaches with
a Specter-
Woman and her
Death-Mate as

in Death” roll dice
for the lives of
the ship’s crew.
“Life in Death”
wins.

Ancient Mariner

13. “Each turned his face
with a ghastly pang, and
cursed me with his eye”
“With heavy thump, a
lifeless lump, they
dropped down one by
one.”
“The souls did from their
bodies fly, - They fled to
bliss or woe! And every
soul, it passed me by,
Like the whizz of my
cross-bow!”
The Rime of the
Ancient Mariner

14. “Alone, alone, all,
all alone, alone on a
wide wide sea! And
never a saint took
pity on my soul in
agony.”
“Seven days, seven
nights, I saw that
curse, and yet I
could not die.”
The Rime of the
Ancient Mariner

15. “Beyond the shadow
of the ship, I
watched the water-
snakes”
“O happy living
things! No tongue
their beauty might
declare: A spring of
love gushed from
my heart, and I
blessed them
unaware”
The Rime of the
Ancient Mariner

16. The curse is lifted
and the albatross
falls from his neck
and sinks “like
lead into the sea.”

Ancient Mariner

awaken and the
Mariner directs
his ghostly crew
North.

Ancient Mariner

ship sinks.

and a wiser
man.”

to warn others
(redemption).
