So we did ‘The Rime Of Ancient Mariner’ at high school. Like went through it verse by verse and discussed it all. I’d say I loved it.
I think the Maiden version is brilliant … except it totally drops out for a massive quiet section which is very awesome/boring.
I love it… but do I love it?
“If a man could pass through Paradise in a dream, and have a flower presented to him as a pledge that his soul had really been there, and if he found that flower in his hand when he awoke - Aye! and what then?"
-- Coleridge
