Samuel Taylor Coleridge

First of all this is not a factual description of the man.

I probably read the poem “The Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner” when probably i was in Std sixth or seventh, dont remember exactly though. It was one of the toughest one and was beyond my comprehension. At that time i used to only browse through the poems or fiction because it was in syllabus not out of enthusiasm. But now when i look back i see that it is the best way to glue the kids first out of compulsion and then let them to read what they like. Make the books available to them and they will sonner than later have a liking for this.

Now when i look back i see the importance of reading poems and theirs deeper meaning in ours daily lives. I still remember some poem’s line when i come through some particular situation. I had completely forgotten about it but was reminded because of the peculiar situation in my life. Anyways at that time i had the oppurtunity to read only first two parts of that poem. Aur english teacher was kind enough to tell us the whole story till the seventh part.

Also what reminds me here is the power of internet in the information searching. Whatever one wants is easily available. I was, as evident from the previous post able to get all the seven parts. cheers
