Blawg Review of the Ancient Mariner

This then becomes the cycle of the Mariner's life. As the voice had predicted during his return, he continues his penance for what he has done. The nature of that penance is described by the Mariner:

    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.

A slightly-creepy guy telling stories to anyone who'll pause to listen? Give that Ancient Mariner a Blogger account and a pair of pajamas!
