That Agony Returns”: Interminable Penance In The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner And The Waste Land

Résumé
This article reads Coleridge’s Rime and Eliot’s The Waste Land through one term taken from Coleridge’s own text: agony, suffering that cannot be discharged and so compels its own retelling. The Rime supplies a machinery of expiation and then withdraws it; The Waste Land offers none.
