Part One


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! (l. 59-62)


At length did cross an Albatross,through the fog it came;as if had been a Christian soul,we hailed it in God’s name. (l. 63-66)


The cold sweat melted from their limbs,nor rot nor reek did they:the look with which they looked on mehad never passed away. (l. 253-256)


And when I awake it rained (l. 300)


“Since then, at an uncertain hour, that agony returns: and till my ghastly tale is told,this heart within me burns.

I pass, like night, from land to land;I have strange power of speech;that moment that his face I see,I know the man that must hear me:to him my tale I teach.” (l. 582-590)
