I enjoy cursing at my close friends.
Rock on...
And now this spell was snapt: once more |
|
I viewed the ocean green, |
|
And look'd far forth, yet little saw |
|
Of what had else been seen— |
|
|
Like one that on a lonesome road |
|
Doth walk in fear and dread, |
|
And having once turn'd round, walks on, |
|
And turns no more his head; |
|
Because he knows a frightful fiend |
|
Doth close behind him tread. |
|
|
But soon there breathed a wind on me, |
|
Nor sound nor motion made: |
|
Its path was not upon the sea, |
|
In ripple or in shade. |
|
|
It raised my hair, it fann'd my cheek |
|
Like a meadow-gale of spring— |
|
It mingled strangely with my fears, |
|
Yet it felt like a welcoming. |
-Excerpt from Rime of the Ancient Mariner, a poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
