The narrator is surrounded by dead people. They are dead but not rotten (?) . He is angry because his firnds died and not the creatures of the sea. He is desperate, but he can't die, even after 7 days ("And yet, I could not die"). Finally, he begins to see that the creatures are not so ugly and mean, and he is happier.

The Rime of the Ancien Mariner, Samuel Taylor Coleridge.

I think that the 3 mariners ancients are from Cristoball Colon, The 3 skulls,the 3 ship, are: 'La niña', 'La Pinta' and 'La Santa María'. The art long, lank and the colur brown are from ships.

I think the narrator is talking about a sailor that dies at sea and turns into a ghost. (??)

I think that it is talking about a monkey like creature something long and skinny like a mummy or a skeleton. A skeleton that is rotting which is why he says brown and long and skinny because of the bones! ??
- hmmm?
