Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Within today, tomorrow is already walking.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Not one man in a thousand has either strength of mind or goodness of heart to be an atheist.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
A poet ought not to pick nature's pocket. Let him borrow, and so borrow as to repay by the very act of borrowing. Examine nature accurately, but write from recollection, and trust more to the imagination than the memory.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
