Rime of the ancient mariner. by Lewis Cooper

That's the only bit I remember too Lewis - great illustration

I must admit your fabulous piece of work Lewis had me using Google instantly to know more.

Wordsworth, Coleridge and Keats - all at A level, eons ago but I still remember many lines, especially from The Ancient Mariner. A great narrative and a superb drawing Lewis.

Excellent artwork Lew , I think most people only remember water water everywhere, but incorrectly add , and not a drop to spare, heard that quoted many times .

Water, water everywhere and how the boards did shrink.......had to learn this at school back in about 1965, it's the only other line I can remember. Thanks for the memory and the super illustration.

A level for me also… great illustration Lew!

This is outstanding Lewis. In Colour a great movie poster as well.

Wonderful drawing Lewis.

The illustration would make a great book cover, nice one.

Thanks as ever for your comments. I think this was standard fare in school for most of us. I wonder if it’s taught now. It’s a great narrative poem that tends to stay in the memory, even if you can’t remember the words.

Great illustration (and yes, those are the only words I remember).

Superb drawing Lewis. And I only remember that line too.

Super drawing Lewis and I can only remember the couple of lines you have mentioned.

I loved this poem as a young lad, it really did fire the imagination as does your superb illustration Lewis.

Great illustration

Get drawing. And reminder of how dangerous the sea and be

Wonderful Lewis!

Excellent stippling and hatching Lewis.
