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.

More quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
For she belike hath drunken deep Of all the blessedness of sleep.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The principle of the Gothic architecture is infinity made imaginable. It is no doubt a sublimer effort of genius than the Greek style but then it depends much more on execution for its effect.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
No man was ever yet a great poet, without being at the same time a profound philosopher. For poetry is the blossom and the fragrance of all human knowledge, human thoughts, human passions, emotions, language.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Democracy is the healthful lifeblood which circulates through the veins and arteries, which supports the system, but which ought never to appear externally, and as the mere blood itself.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Religion is the most gentlemanly thing in the world. It alone will gentilize, if unmixed with cant.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Good and bad men are each less so than they seem.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
On the Greek stage a drama, or acted story, consisted in reality of three dramas, called together a trilogy, and performed consecutively in the course of one day.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
A mother is a mother still, The holiest thing alive.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Greatness and goodness are not means, but ends! Hath he not always treasures, always friends, The good great man? Three treasures, love and light, And calm thoughts, regular as infants' breath And three firm friends, more sure than day and night, Himself, his Maker, and the angel Death.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The once red leaf, the last of its clan, that dances as often as dance it can.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Oh sleep! it is a gentle thing, Beloved from pole to pole.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Health is a great blessing--competence obtained by honorable industry is a great blessing--and a great blessing it is to have kind, faithful, and loving friends and relatives but, that the greatest of all blessings, as it is the most ennobling of all privileges, is to be indeed a Christian.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
To believe and to understand are not diverse things, but the same things in different periods of growth.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The necessity for external government to man is in an inverse ratio to the vigor of his self-government. Where the last is most complete, the first is least wanted. Hence, the more virtue the more liberty.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
How well he fell asleepl Like some proud river, widening toward the sea Calmly and grandly, silently and deep, Life joined eternity.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Metaphysics,--the science which determines what can and what cannot be known of being and the laws of being.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Poor little Foal of an oppressed race! I love the languid patience of thy face.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Stimulate the heart to love and the mind to be early accurate, and all other virtues will rise of their own accord, and all vices will be thrown out.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Never can true courage dwell with them, Who, playing tricks with conscience, dare not look At their own vices.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Oh, the difficulty of fixing the attention of men on the world within them!
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
