  • Literary Reference: Coleridge borrows the weather sign from the ballad of “Sir Patrick Spence”, linking his poem to folk traditions and maritime lore.

  • The Weather Sign: The “faint, dark shadow of the full moon within the bright crescent of the new moon” was considered by sailors to foreshadow an impending storm.

  • Symbolic Significance: The ominous celestial phenomenon mirrors the speaker’s internal state—his emotional stagnation, melancholy, and fear of creative barrenness.

  • Connection to Romantic Themes: Nature reflects human emotion. Here, the approaching storm is both literal and metaphorical, embodying potential upheaval, emotional awakening, or turmoil, which aligns with Romantic ideas of nature as a mirror of the soul.
