Why is it that so many of us persist in thinking that autumn is a sad season? Nature has merely fallen asleep, and her dreams must be beautiful if we are to judge by her countenance.

More quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
How strange and awful is the synthesis of life and death in the gusty winds and falling leaves of an autumnal day!
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Life went a-maying With Nature, Hope, and Poesy, When I was young!
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
To doubt has more of faith ... than that blank negation of all such thoughts and feelings which is the lot of the herd of church-and-meeting trotters.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Flowers are lovely love is flower-like Friendship is a sheltering tree Oh the joys that came down shower-like, Of friendship, love, and liberty, Ere I was old!
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Water cannot rise higher than its source, neither can human reason.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
For compassion a human heart suffices, but for full and adequate sympathy, with joy, an angel's only.
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
...from the time of Kepler to that of Newton, and from Newton to Hartley, not only all things in external nature, but the subtlest mysteries of life and organization, and even of the intellect and moral being, were conjured within the magic circle of mathematical formulae.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
I must reject fluids and ethers of all kinds, magnetical, electrical, and universal, to whatever quintessential thinness they may be treble distilled, and as it were super-substantiated.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
How like herrings and onions our vices are in the morning after we have committed them.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
For mother's sake the child was dear, and dearer was the mother for the child.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
A spring of love gush'd from my heart, And I bless'd them unaware.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Joy rises in me, like a summer's morn.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Carved with figures strange and sweet, All made out of the carver's brain.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm. For what is enthusiasm but the oblivion and swallowing-up of self in an object dearer than self?
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
Let every book-worm, when in any fragrant, scarce old tome, he discovers a sentence, a story, an illustration, that does his heart good, hasten to give it the widest circulation that newspapers and magazines, penny and halfpenny, can afford.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
No voice but oh - the silence sank Like music on my heart.
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
One thought includes all thought, in the sense that a grain of sand includes the universe.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
