"[...]O happy living things! no tongue
Their beauty might declare:
A spring of love gushed from my heart,
And I blessed them unaware:
Sure my kind saint took pity on me,
And I blessed them unaware.
The self-same moment I could pray;
And from my neck so free
The Albatross fell off, and sank
Like lead into the sea.[...]“
Excerpts of the poem
Rime Of The Ancient Mariner
1834 Samuel Taylor Coleridge
