Question

What kind of weather did the sailors enjoy at the beginning of their journey? How has it been expressed in the poem?

Answer 1

The mariners enjoyed a good weather. it is said that the sun came up from the sea on the right and he shone bright and went into the sea on the right. This means that it was good weather and they were going southward. 

Answer 2

The beginning of the journey witnessed very nice and favourable weather conditions. The sun rose bright and shone bright on the mast a noon.. Things like the church, the hill and the lighthouse top signify life, society and human lives, which becomes a bleak idea soon in the later part of the poem.
