Samuel Taylor Coleridge
There is small chance of truth at the goal, where there is not childlike humility at the starting-post.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
A spring of love gush'd from my heart, And I bless'd them unaware.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
He holds him with his glittering eye, And listens like a three years' child.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Those who best know human nature will acknowledge most fully what a strength light hearted nonsense give to a hard working man
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Imagination that compares and contrasts with what is around as well as what is better and worse is the living power and prime agent of all human perception judgement and emotional reaction.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Her skin was white as leprosy.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
