In "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," what description did the Mariner give as the ship was driven by the storm?

I take it you are referring to Part I of this amazing
poem, when the ship is driven by storms towards the South Pole and before the Mariner
kills the albatross. The storm seems to emerge out of nowhere, interspersed as it is
between what is going on in the church during the wedding and the compelling,
mesmerizing and riveting account of the Mariner. See how the storm is described in his
words:

"And
now the STORM-BLAST came, and he

Was tyrannous and
strong:

He struck with his o'ertaking
wings,

And chased us south
along.

With sloping masts and dipping
prow,

As who pursued with yell and
blow

Still treads the shadow of his
foe,

And forward bends his
head,

The ship drove fast, loud roared the
blast,

And southward aye we
fled."

Note how Coleridge
uses personification to compare the ship to a person leaning forward as he flees a
pursuing enemy. Clearly, the stormy blast that has caught up the ship completely
overpowers the ship and the crew's efforts to steer it, leading it on into a strange and
mystical world full of icebergs.
