Which is the best narrative poem about a ship crew, The Rime of The Ancient Mariner or The Hunting of the Snark?

Carroll was a pedo, ergo... Carroll.

Honestly? I don't know. Just enjoy both.

Heehee, just like my black twitter memes. Dank doesn't just mean wet or soggy like it did when Coleridge wrote this poem in the 18th century; now dank is a slang term popular with high schoolers that refers to something of high quality. The dichotomy between stuffy white Coledrige and cool WoC slang is very funny and unexpected. Thanks for sharing this with me anon, it was a very on fleek insight that merited everybody's attention

Have a great day, my best of friends, and keep pushing those memes

have to say that I prefer the Richard Burton recording. But I'm biased because I grew up with it.

Water, water, every where,
And all the boards did shrink;
Water, water, every where,
Nor any drop to drink.

The very deep did rot: O Christ!
That ever this should be!
Yea, slimy things did crawl with legs
Upon the slimy sea.

I personally enjoy Ian McKellen's voice, but I have to admit that Richard Burton's version is pretty expressive too.

Here's another McKellen's great work:

this is def. my fav. part. Thinkin' about getting it tattooed:

The many men, so beautiful!
And they all dead did lie;
And a thousand thousand slimy things
Lived on; and so did I.
