What would you do if you were on your way to a wedding and a sailor stops you tell you a story about life or death?

This week Cassandra Harold tells us The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge.

This poem was first published in 1798 and is in the Public Domain. Cassandra is narrating an 1834 edition.

This famous poem features popular phrases that are still used today : "albatross around one's neck" and "Water, water, every where, / Nor any drop to drink".

Enjoy!
