126 The Ocean-Desert: The Ancient Mariner and. The Waste Land FLORENCE MARSH WHEN Coleridge’s The Ancient Mariner and T. S. Eliot’s The Waste Land are juxtaposed‚ the two poems become mutually illuminating. Nor is the juxtaposition arbitrary‚ since both are essentially religious poems concerned with salvation. In both‚ the protagonist needs to recover from a living death‚ from spiritual dryness. Structurally‚ The Waste Land has almost no narrative thread‚ no story‚ but it sounds motifs that
