Identify the context, and significance of the following quotation from The Rime of the Ancient Mariner (4-6 good sentences):                         Oh happy living things! No tongue                         Their beauty might declare:                         A spring of love gushed from my heart,                         And I blessed them, unaware:                         Sure my kind saint took pity on me,                         And I blessed them, unaware.
