    Ah, yes; this group requires commentary. Let's see what we can find:

    "Coleridge obviously became depressed and suicidal on realizing that he
    would never be as good a poet as Michael or Jim." - Dr. NastyGene

    "Coleridge was obviously a very bad poet. Notice how he uses the same
    word twice. Couldn't he think of another word?" - Prof. NastyGene

    "He was a fucking soup sandwich!" - Nurse MEatpuppet


    Interestingly, I was just reading about the great poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge this morning, and his poetic inspiration for Bill Everett, who created the character Namor, who is in the new Black Panther movie:

    *************


    https://www.grunge.com/1071774/the-18th-century-poem-that-inspired-marvels-namor/

    ******* Namor's creator drew inspiration from Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," says Inverse. The poem, published in 1798 within a collaboration between Coleridge and William Wadsworth titled "Lyrical Ballads," tells of
    a ship stuck in the antarctic. When an albatross appears to guide the ship, the mariner spontaneously shoots the albatross and brings a curse upon the ship and its sailors. As penance for his crime against nature, the mariner is forced to wear the
    albatross' carcass around his neck. The poem says, "Instead of the cross, the Albatross / About my neck was hung" (via Poetry Foundation). Other lasting cultural references to the poem include the common saying, an "albatross around your neck," which
    signifies a burden, writes Mental Floss. The ship and its sailors suffer many misfortunes, including encounters with slimy sea creatures, a ghost ship, and dehydration. A famous line reads, "Water, water, every where, / Nor any drop to drink" (per Poetry
    Foundation).

    Eventually, the sailors perish, except for the mariner, who finally earns absolution by blessing a group of sea snakes. The albatross drops from his neck, angels fill the sailors' bodies, and a mysterious power guides his ship back to port. The poem
    ushered in romantic literature, rejecting the Enlightenment's penchant for reason and order, explains Britannica. Instead, the romantic era praised the emotional, the individual, and the spontaneous.... ***********

    Typo corrected, thanks, NancyGene.

    Nope, try again

    Close enough, but thanks for the heads up, NancyGene.

    By the way, are you "blinded by drugs" when you make your errors, such as "John Dunne" (twice), "Robert F Stillings" and that time you thought London was in Ireland?

    Just curious.

    A fascinating study of the origins of Prince Namor, The Sub-Mariner, now in a theater near you:

    https://www.comicsbeat.com/unassuming-barber-shop-salvador-dalis-sub-mariner/

    "Everett cites Coleridge, the god Mercury, and even a pulpy story of himself being rescued by a mysterious man off the coast of Florida: on a boat wracked by wave and wind, Everett is about to succumb to the ocean depths, but he is miraculously saved
    by . . . someone. He turns around to thank the person, but THERE IS NO ONE THERE."

    Good find, Zod.
