More quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Motives by excess reverse their very nature and instead of exciting, stun and stupefy the mind.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
There are errors which no wise man will treat with rudeness while there is a probability that they may be the refraction of some great truth still below the horizon.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Like one, that on a lonesome road Doth walk in fear and dread, And having once turned round walks on, And turns no more his head Because he knows, a frightful fiend Doth close behind him tread.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Exclusively of the abstract sciences, the largest and worthiest portion of our knowledge consists of aphorisms: and the greatest and best of men is but an aphorism.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Thou rising Sun! thou blue rejoicing Sky! Yea! every thing that is and will be free! Bear witness for me, whereso'er ye be, With what deep worship I have still adored The spirit of divinest Liberty.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
God! sing, ye meadow-streams, with gladsome voice! Ye pine-groves, with your soft and soul-like sounds! And they too have a voice, you piles of snow, And in their perilous fall shall thunder, God!
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Not the poem which we have read , but that to which we return , with the greatest pleasure, possesses the genuine power, and claims the name of essential poetry .
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Cant is the parrot talk of a profession.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Men of genius are rarely much annoyed by the company of vulgar people.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Brute animals have the vowel sounds man only can utter consonants.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Ah! from the soul itself must issue forth A light, a glory, a fair luminous cloud Enveloping the Earth And from the soul itself must there be sent A sweet and potent voice, of its own birth Of all sweet sounds the life and element!
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Trochee trips from long to short From long to long in solemn sort Slow Spondee stalks.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
No sound is dissonant which tells of life.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
He prayeth best who loveth best.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Sir, I admit your general rule, That every poet is a fool, But you yourself may serve to show it, That every fool is not a poet.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Ah! well a-day! what evil looks / Had I from old and young! / Instead of the cross, the Albatross / About my neck was hung.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Alone, Alone, all, all alone, Alone on a wide wide sea! And never saint took pity on My soul in agony
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Moral obligation is to me so very strong a Stimulant, that in 9 cases out of ten it acts as a Narcotic. The Blow that should rouse, stuns me.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
