Asked by Ciara

I know these lines are Alliteration

"The breezes blew , the white foam flew, “

“ The furrow follow’d free “

But I need to know the effect of what is the tone or mood or theme in these two lines in the poem "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge.

Well, I'd call it "rough." The breeze is a stiff one and the sea is roiling with waves: "the white foam flew" and the "furrow" indicates the trough between high waves. You might think of a better word, but the weather at sea is NOT calm!

What emotions does these sound devices evoke ?
Answered by Reed
Imagine yourself on a ship in rough seas. How would you feel? Remember that ships in those days were much smaller than modern ones and much more fragile.
