When the albatross appears, the ice splits so that the ship can move forward, and a good wind appears, hastening its progress
Explanation:
In the beginning of "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," by English poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge, the albatross leads the ship out of the freezing waters of the Antartic. However, after the mariner shoots it, the extreme anger of spirits takes the ship into unexplored waters and it is left unable to move.
