And every soul it passed me by
Like the whizz of my crossbow!"

from Samuel Taylor Coleridge – Rime Of The Ancient Mariner on Rap Genius

In fact, when the sailors' souls are released, they fly past the Ancient Mariner with the same sound as the arrow he shot at the Albatross. Initially, the Ancient Mariner is relieved to have survived his shipmates, but in retrospect the sound tantalizes him, as it reminds him that his impulsive sin is the reason for his torture.
