Herzegovino, attorney, escena d'estim, escena de mort.


My lips were wet, my throat was cold,
My garments all were dank;
Sure I had drunken in my dreams,
And still my body drank.

I moved, and could not feel my limbs:
I was so light - almost
I thought that I had died in sleep,
And was a blessed ghost

And soon I heard a roaring wind:
It did not come anear;
But with its sound it shook the sails,
That were so thin and sere.

* [from "The rime of the ancient Mariner]

Though I could've written those words
If only I had taken the time.
Having not written them words
I come here and make Coleridge's mine.
