| 1 | * FridgeBrilliance: The Mariner speaks in such an archaic dialect because he never kept up with English. Keep in mind he's immortal and wanders the earth. |
| 2 | * NightmareFuel: [[http://www.mervynpeake.org/gallery/0235.jpg This]] illustration of Life-in-Death by Mervyn Peake (yes, the guy who wrote ''Literature/{{Gormenghast}}'') is not something you should look at right before you go to sleep. [[SchmuckBait You have been warned]]. |
| 3 | * VindicatedByHistory: ''The Rime of the Ancient Mariner'' is one of the most referenced [[{{Romanticism}} Romantic]] poems ever, to the point [[SmallReferencePools few people will know any others]] and a line from it is popularly ([[BeamMeUpScotty mis]])quoted. When it was first released, Coleridge's publisher told him most of its sales were from sailors that mistook it for a naval songbook and many critics found its archaic dialect impenetrable to read (which led to Coleridge toning it down for a second edition). |
| 4 | * WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic: The Pilot's boat is steered by His Son at one point. As in, the boat that frees us from our sins is piloted by the Son. |
