Dura Navis was composed by Samuel Taylor Coleridge in 1787. It is one of his earliest known poems and was written for a school assignment while Coleridge attended Christ s Hospital . The poem describes the pain of solitude that accompanies travel and the risks that accompany a voyage at sea, including combat against others and resorting to cannibalism . Background Dura Navis , along with Easter Holidays and Niul Pejus est Caelibe Vita , is one of Coleridge s earliest known poems. ref Sarker 2001 p. 43 ref Dura Navis was written for an exercise while Coleridge attended Christ s Hospital at the age of 15. Of this exercise Coleridge wrote in a note to the poem blockquote I well remember old Jemmy Bowyer, the plagose Orbilius of Christ s Hospital, but an admirable Educer no less than Educator of the Intellect, bad me leave out as many epithets as would turn the whole into 8 syllable Lines, and then asked myself if the Exercise would not be greatly improved. How often have I thought of this proposal since then and how many thousand bloated and puffing lines have I read that by this process would have tripped over the tongues excellently.
