"Are those her ribs through which the Sun Did peer, as through a grate? And is that Woman all her crew? Is that a Death? and are there two? Is Death that woman's mate?

" Her lips were red, her looks were free, Her locks were yellow as gold: Her skin was as white as leprosy....

The naked hulk alongside came, And the twain were casting dice."

( The Ancient Mariner ).]
