While reading Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, I noticed she used some lines from Samuel Taylor Coleridge's The Rime of the Ancient Mariner:
Like one, that on a lonesome road
Doth walk in fear and dread,
And having once turned round walks on,
And turns no more his head ;
Because he knows, a frightful fiend
Doth close behind him tread.
Frankenstein actually introduced me to the wonderful haunting work of Coleridge. Apparently, there are various writings and studies about the relationship between the two brilliant authors.
