초록
The Shadowy Waters echoes The Rime of the Ancient Mariner in that Yeats’s mariner takes a supernatural sea journey as does Coleridge’s from which he can never come back. Yeats’s mariner hopes to find the unknown world where everything lasts forever, knowing that he would never come back from his journey in the literal sense; Coleridge’s mariner hopelessly wants his horrific journey to end, but can never come back from it metaphorically, perpetuating his memory of it by having to tell the story over and over again as a punishment for his sins. The authors, however, have a completely different attitude toward the use of Romantic attributes. Despite the tendency that Yeats is seen as a Modernist writer, the true meaning of Romanticism can be found more in The Shadowy Waters than in The Rime of the Ancient Mariner.
