El extenso poema "Balada del viejo Marinero" encumbra al movimiento romántico inglés de finales del siglo XVIII. Fue compuesto tras un meditativo paseo por el puerto de Watchet, en el canal de Bristol, a partir de un sueño sobre un navio fantasma tripulado por almas errantes que un conocido de Samuel Taylor Coleridge le habia relatado. Dotado de una hipnotica musicalidad y poderosa simbologia, su narracion, como un oraculo, detalla un misterioso viaje por las aguas truculentas de un crimen y su castigo, hacia un destino de tormento, penitencia, purificacion. Todo causado por el asesinato de un albatros, pajaro de buen aguero, a manos de un oscuro marino, que desatara una furia de la naturaleza, una lucha entre fuerzas del bien y el mal.

This is the second part of the Wallenstein trilogy by German playwright and mastermind Friedrich Schiller. The work as a whole produced a profound impression, and it is certainly Schillers masterpiece in dramatic literature. He brings out with extraordinary vividness the ascendency of Wallenstein over the wild troops whom he has gathered around him, and at the same time we are made to see how the mighty generals schemes must necessarily end in ruin, not merely because a plot against him is skilfully prepared by vigilant enemies, but because he himself is lulled into a sense of security by superstitious belief in his supposed destiny as revealed to him by the stars. Wallenstein is the most subtle and complex of Schillers dramatic conceptions, and it taxes the powers of the greatest actors to present an adequate rendering of the motives which explain his strange and dark career. The love-story of Max Piccolomini and Thekla is in its own way not less impressive than the story of Wallenstein with which it is interwoven.
