Question

From “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” “The ice was here, the ice was there, The ice was all around; It cracked and growled, and roared and howled, Like noises in a swound!” Between which two words from these lines does the author create consonance?

Answer 1

The answer is "here" and "there".

Answer 2

Consonance is the repetition of consonant sounds in words that are close to each other. It happens often in poetry, but it is also used in prose. The sounds may appear at the beginning, middle, or ending of the word.

I believe this excerpt to contain more than just one pair of words that present consonance in their sounds:

here and there

around and swound

growled and howled

Their phonetic transcriptions are:

hir and ðɛr

əˈraʊnd and swund

graʊld and haʊld
