Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Never yet did there exist a full faith in the Divine Word (by whom light as well as immortality was brought into the world) which did not expand the intellect, while it purified the heart--which did not multiply the aims and objects of the understanding, while it fixed and simplified those of the desires and passions.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
So lonely 'twas that God himself Scarce seemed there to be.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
