please......... fast.........

Coleridge first published his famous ballad, "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner", in Lyrical Ballads, his 1798 joint effort with his close friend and colleague William Wordsworth. The collection's publication is often seen as the Romantic Movement's true inception. It was published anonymously - a move that contradicted its intensely personal and subjective contents. Purportedly, "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" was to be a joint effort on both poets' parts; Coleridge attributed the shooting of the albatross as well as several lines to Wordsworth. Nineteen years later, in 1817, he published an edited version of the poem in his collection entitled Sibylline Leaves. The poem's first version went against the emerging Romantic tradition of writing in contemporary, unrhymed language, something Wordsworth championed in his "Tintern Abbey," also published in Lyrical Ballads. Coleridge maintained that his use of a loose rhyme scheme and archaic language in "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" was deliberate and scholarly, intended to provoke thought about the use of such devices and invoke a sort of literary timelessness. However, the pressures of the genre he was helping to define may have contributed to his ultimate decision to remove much of the archaism from the poem for several revisions in the early years of the 19th century. In the 1817 version of the poem, Coleridge added another layer to the poem in the form of marginal glosses. These explanations not only amplify the allegorical feel of the poem, but work in place of the omitted archaisms to establish a nostalgic, fictitiously historical mood. They also state directly that spirits, and not just nature, are responsible for punishing the Ancient Mariner and his shipmates.
