Image
This world has angels all too few, and heaven is overflowing.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
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
Image
And here were forests ancient as the hills, Enfolding sunny spots of greenery.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
Language is the armory of the human mind, and at once contains the trophies of its past and the weapons of its future conquests.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
No voice but oh - the silence sank Like music on my heart.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
And though thou notest from thy safe recess old friends burn dim, like lamps in noisome air love them for what they are nor love them less, because to thee they are not what they were.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
Alone, Alone, all, all alone, Alone on a wide wide sea! And never saint took pity on My soul in agony
