First, I would like to confess that I have in my ancient times read Coleridge's long poem. I wonder if there is a celestial albatross for us to skewer with a thoroughly modern crossbow, so that, in a terminal fit of literary allusion, some hapless future space mariner , while dying of thirst due to a breakdown of the H2O recycling system, cannot help but hoarsely mutter "water, water, everywhere, and not a drop to drink . . .".
