Psychedelic Regrets in “Rime of the Ancient Mariner”

May 20, 2024 | player.fm | Wes Alwan |Erin O'Luanaigh

The ancient Mariner kills his Albatross with a carelessness that stands in stark contrast to his impulse for confession. For several days he and his shipmates feed the albatross, play with it, and treat it as if it were inhabited by a “Christian soul.” The mariner never tells the wedding guest why it is that he kills the bird, but the casual and seemingly unmotivated act is followed by a psychedelic nightmare that gives us some clues.

Consciousness Bemoaned in Philip Larkin’s “Aubade” (Part 1)

Apr 22, 2024 | player.fm | Wes Alwan |Erin O'Luanaigh

In the medieval tradition of courtly love, the aubade inverts the serenade. Where one heralds an evening arrival, the other laments a morning departure. In John Dunne’s famous poetic contribution to the genre, he chastises the sun for waking and so separating lovers, but consoles us with the notion that the power of the sun is ultimately subordinate to the imperatives of love.
