Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Bells, the poor man's only music.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The whole faculties of man must be exerted in order to call forth noble energies and he who is not earnestly sincere lives in but half his being, self-mutilated, self-paralyzed.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
How inimitably graceful children are in general-before they learn to dance.
