The rime of the Ancient Mariner III

The sailors were trapped on the open, vast, windless ocean and eventuly their thirst had pierced through their heart almost persuading them to drink the cold, bleak, salty water. Being delirious with thirst in the middle of the Ocean, without a doubt, this had to be the worst thing. One day, the Ancient Mariner noticed a towering, humongous shape approaching from the west across the golden horizon. Seeing this, his solemn sorrows had changed and the crew noticed it was a ship. Beaming with relief, the crew got up but could not cry as their lips were badly sunbearnt and their throats dry as a Desert. The Ancient Mariner ripped through his arm, sucking at his blood, wetting it enough to cheer and cry a little. ” A sail! A sail! Cried the Mariner. The ship managed to turn itself towards them. The golden, exotic looking sunlight made the ship look imprisoned. After a while the Mariners mood turned from excited to dreadful. He noticed that ship was approaching quick.

The Rime of the Ancient Mariner

Three guys are on the way to a wedding celebration when an old sailor (the Mariner) stops one of them at the door. Hooking their attention, he starts to explain his disastrous, unique story.

The beaming sun remained in the morning, but at evening, the north Pacific wind howled bitting at the ship, piercing holes with dark mist. He explains about the Albatross being shot and the rest of the crew members being furious with him. They all believed that the albatross saved them from the icy bitter weather. The albatross made the mist disappear and bring back the bright golden sunlight.
