Samuel Taylor Coleridge's 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner' with Original Illustrations is a haunting and mesmerizing work of Romantic poetry that delves into themes of guilt, redemption, nature, and the supernatural. Written in 1797-1798, the poem showcases Coleridge's mastery of lyrical balladry, with its distinctive musical cadence and vivid imagery. The inclusion of original illustrations enhances the reading experience, bringing the fantastical and eerie aspects of the poem to life. Coleridge's use of symbolism and allegory adds depth to the narrative, making it a rich and thought-provoking piece of literature that continues to captivate readers today. Samuel Taylor Coleridge, a leading figure of the Romantic movement, was known for his innovative poetry and philosophical writings. His deep connection to nature and exploration of the human psyche are evident in 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner,' reflecting his complex intellectual and emotional depth. Coleridge's own struggles with addiction and spiritual seeking likely influenced the themes of sin and redemption in the poem, adding layers of personal and symbolic meaning. I highly recommend 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner' with Original Illustrations to readers who appreciate Romantic poetry, Gothic literature, and allegorical storytelling. It is a timeless classic that offers a unique and immersive literary experience, blending supernatural elements with profound philosophical reflections.

Table of Contents
Part the First.
It is an ancient Mariner, And he stoppeth one of three. “By thy long grey beard and glittering eye, Now wherefore stopp’st thou me?
“The Bridegroom’s doors are opened wide, And I am next of kin; The guests are met, the feast is set: May’st hear the merry din.”
Wherefore stopp'st thou me?
He holds him with his skinny hand, “There was a ship,” quoth he. “Hold off! unhand me, grey-beard loon!” Eftsoons his hand dropt he.
He holds him with his glittering eye — The Wedding–Guest stood still, And listens like a three years child: The Mariner hath his will.
The Wedding–Guest sat on a stone: He cannot chuse but hear; And thus spake on that ancient man, The bright-eyed Mariner.
The ship was cheered, the harbour cleared, Merrily did we drop Below the kirk, below the hill, Below the light-house top.
The Sun came up upon the left, Out of the sea came he! And he shone bright, and on the right Went down into the sea.
Higher and higher every day, Till over the mast at noon — The Wedding–Guest here beat his breast, For he heard the loud bassoon.
The bride hath paced into the hall, Red as a rose is she; Nodding their heads before her goes The merry minstrelsy.
The Wedding–Guest he beat his breast, Yet he cannot chuse but hear; And thus spake on that ancient man, The bright-eyed Mariner.
And now the STORM-BLAST came, and he Was tyrannous and strong: He struck with his o’ertaking wings, And chased south along.
With sloping masts and dipping prow, As who pursued with yell and blow Still treads the shadow of his foe And forward bends his head, The ship drove fast, loud roared the blast, And southward aye we fled.
