Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Show me one couple unhappy merely on account of their limited circumstances, and I will show you ten who are wretched from other causes.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
All Nature seems at work. Slugs leave their lair The bees are stirring, birds are on the wing, And Winter slumbering in the open air, Wears on his smiling face a dream of spring.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
In Shakespeare one sentence begets the next naturally the meaning is all inwoven. He goes on kindling like a meteor through the dark atmosphere.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Earth, with her thousand voices, praises God.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
And they three passed over the white sands, between the rocks, silent as the shadows.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Our quaint metaphysical opinions, in an hour of anguish, are like playthings by the bedside of a child deathly sick.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Cant is the parrot talk of a profession.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
