I don't think I wanna read all that (though I might be wrong). What is it about?
As an aside, if memory does not fail, I believe both the Keats and the Coleridge are taken from earlier tales. Apparently STC was told a story by Wordsworth about privateer George Shelvocke, who shot an albatross while rounding Cape Horn in 1720, and was later dogged by bad weather.
St. Agnes was beheaded in Rome because she claimed to be the bride of Christ, which is an honor given to Mary Magdalene, as every Da Vinci Code reader knows. If a maiden does the right things on St Agnes's eve, she will see the one she will eventually marry.
None of that may be relevant to the question posed, but I am not sure what is desired with the 'treatment of the supernatural' comparison.
