Your education in liberal arts (9/7/2011)

The Rime of the Ancient Mariner is a lengthy, but easy to read poem, that you should have covered in 11th grade English.

In short, the Ancient Mariner exerts his spooky will on the Wedding Guest (a guy on his way to the wedding of a close relative). The Ancient Mariner tells a tale of rejecting God's grace (by killing an albatross that had brought good luck to the ship), and consequences of that act.

Part 3 has a great ghost ship.

There are a number of phrases from that poem that have entered general usage:

Water, water, every where,
And all the boards did shrink;
Water, water, every where,
Nor any drop to drink.
Also:
He prayeth best, who loveth best
All things both great and small;
For the dear God who loveth us,
He made and loveth all.
