Wortox's quote is a reference to the "Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge (later reinterpreted as a song by Iron Maiden) in which while saiing on the high seas the protagonist shoots down an albatross, considered a sign of good fortune, and is then cursed for such an act by having the rest of the ship's crew die, and him left as the only survivor to live with the guilt.
