He holds him with his glittering eye—

The Wedding-Guest stood still,

And listens like a three years' child:

The Mariner hath his will.

He cannot choose but hear;

Went down into the sea.

Suddenly, the sounds of the wedding
Higher and higher every day, interrupt the Ancient Mariner's story. The
Wedding Guest beats his chest impatiently

The Wedding-Guest here beat his breast,

For he heard the loud bassoon.

Simile However, he is compelled to continue
The bride hath paced into the hall, listening to the Ancient Mariner, who goes
on with his tale.
Red as a rose is she;

Nodding their heads before her goes

The merry minstrelsy.

he southwards.

Was tyrannous and strong:

He struck with his o'ertaking wings,

And chased us south along.

similes The wind blew with such force that the ship
With sloping masts and dipping prow, pitched down in the surf as though it were
fleeing an enemy.
As who pursued with yell and blow

Still treads the shadow of his foe,

And forward bends his head,

The ship drove fast, loud roared the blast,

And southward aye we fled.

simile Then the sailors reached a calm patch of sea
And now there came both mist and snow, that was "wondrous cold",

And it grew wondrous cold:

And ice, mast-high, came floating by,

As green as emerald.

And through the drifts the snowy clifts

Did send a dismal sheen:

Nor shapes of men nor beasts we ken—

The ice was all between.

full of snow and glistening green icebergs as
The ice was here, the ice was there, tall as the ship's mast.
The sailors were the only living things in this
The ice was all around: frightening, enclosed world where the ice
 made terrible groaning sounds that echoed
It cracked and growled, and roared and all around.
Elision howled,
similes
Like noises in a swound!
Finally, an Albatross emerged from the mist,
At length did cross an Albatross, and the sailors revered it as a sign of good
luck, as though it were a "Christian soul" sent
Thorough the fog it came; by God to save them.

As if it had been a Christian soul,

We hailed it in God's name.

It ate the food it ne'er had eat,

And round and round it flew.

The ice did split with a thunder-fit;

The helmsman steered us through!

the Albatross followed the ship, ate the food
And a good south wind sprung up behind; the sailors gave it, and played with them.

The Albatross did follow,

And every day, for food or play,

Came to the mariner's hollo!

In mist or cloud, on mast or shroud,

It perched for vespers nine;

Whiles all the night, through fog-smoke

white,

Glimmered the white Moon-shine.'

the Wedding Guest notices that the Ancient
'God save thee, ancient Mariner! Mariner looks at once grave and crazed. He
exclaims: "God save thee, ancient Mariner! /
From the fiends, that plague thee thus!— From the fiends that plague thee thus!- /
Why lookst thou so?" The Ancient Mariner
Why look'st thou so?'—With my cross- responds that he shot the Albatross with his
bow crossbow.

WOMEN
By Wia Handayani
You were born with heart of thousand mothers
You were born with the fire of Queens and conquerors
You were with the wisdom of sages
You were born with an immeasurable soul
Your heart full of love
Your mind full of care
Your muscles full of strength
Your hands that can comfort
Your words that can soothe
In the good, right and true
You are a miracle
Unique through and through
And always be proud of you
