These two stanzas, the very heart of that great poem, "The Ancient Mariner," by Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834), sum up the lesson of this masterpiece—"Insensibility is a crime."

Farewell, farewell! but this I tell To thee, thou Wedding-Guest! He prayeth well who loveth well Both man and bird and beast.He prayeth best who loveth best All things, both great and small: For the dear God who loveth us, He made and loveth all.

Samuel T. Coleridge.
