January 1998 •English

A ship sets sail on an epic voyage through malignant natural and supernatural elements from which one man alone survives.

The Rime of the Ancient Mariner with its message of ecological redemption has a curiously contemporary resonance, but it is at the level of the mythic that the poem has lasting relevance; for this epic tale of extraordinary events simply mirrors the struggle that each human being faces on their own in his or her life. -VDB
