Main author of the english romanticism, with Byron and Keats, is Coleridge, that represents
the great prophecy of a world, researching a balance between the human being and the nature.
Never like today, this is the most urgent problem: to satisfy the needs of harmony,
overcoming war, pollution and all that the human being is able to make for the destruction of the planet.
The story: a mariner, a man that lives on the sea, a natural element in absolute, kills the Albatross,
and plays the symbolic act, the collapse between the Nature and the man. Anyway, the fortune doesn't
give him the classic "Death", but a new state.
In effects, the only chance of rescue, that he has, is to cross throughout "The life-in-death".
The state is damned,is to come back to the Life, telling his story to all the people.
How it is important that everybody can know and then discover the harmony with the Nature!
This poem determines the difference among the Three States of the human being: The Life
( the unconsciousness where all seem to be obtained), "The Death in life"
(where all the senses go towards the conscious behavior of the missing of life -
it happens when the boat stops suddenly) and the Death, the misunderstanding and the darkness.
It causes the different fortune, between his comrades,(unguilty,but without any believe) kidnapped
by "The Death" and John, the bursting subject, that, through the wonderful and the horrible visions
seen during his Loneliness, will come back to the coast, with a new and beauty vision of
life and the human beings.
