He is probably best known for his poems The Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Kubla Khan, as well as his major prose work Biographia Literaria.
“The selfmoment I could pray;And from my neck so freeThe Albatross fell off, and sankLike lead into the sea.”
Coleridge, Samuel Taylor
“Alone, alone, all, all alone, Alone on a wide wide sea! And never a saint took pity on My soul in agony.”
Coleridge, Samuel Taylor
“Ah! well a-day! what evil looks Had I from old and young! Instead of the cross, the Albatross About my neck was hung.”
Coleridge, Samuel Taylor
