==In literature== The doldrums are notably described in [[Samuel Taylor Coleridge]]'s poem ''[[The Rime of the Ancient Mariner]]'' (1798) and also provide a metaphor for the initial state of boredom and indifference of Milo, the child hero of [[Norton Juster]]'s classic 1961 children's novel ''[[The Phantom Tollbooth]]''. It is also cited in the 1939 book ''[[Wind, Sand and Stars]]''.
