THE ROMANTICS =)

Coleridge's Rime of the ancient Mariner' was published in the 'Lyrical Ballads'. The poem includes 7 parts and 4 elements of the Romantic Age. These are nature, super natural forces, strong human emotions,sin and restoration.

The Rime of the ancient Mariner is a view of nature as a piece of purity and peace in which God is manifest ,an emphasis on dreams and visions and a focus on emotion and feeling.

They delighted in describing nature like:

Sometimes a dropping from the sky

I heard the sky-lark sign

Sometimes all little bird that are,

How they seemed to fill the sea and air

With their sweet jargoning

Natural sounds of the birds offer the Ancient Mariner some hope and comfort; moreover, the romantic poets lilke concentrated on describing the supernatural world. The whole poem describes the supernatural and mystical experience of the ancient mariner in a mysterious manner;

This seraph band, each waved his hand

It was a heavenly sight 

They stood as signals to the land

Each one a lovely light.

At least, in romantic Literature , emotions are given great importance. the person who must be pecipient of his recitation is also determined by feeling alone; the mariner says, the moment that his face ı see, ı know the man that must hear me.
