Boys and girls, And women, that would groan to see a child Pull off an insect's leg, all read of war, The best amusement for our morning meal.

More quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The fancy is indeed no other than a mode of memory emancipated from the order of time and space.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Genius must have talent as its complement and implement, just as in like manner imagination must have fancy. In short, the higher intellectual powers can only act through a corresponding energy of the lower.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
If people could learn history, what lessons it might teach us!
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
My eyes make pictures when they are shut.
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
The Reformation in the sixteenth century narrowed Reform. As soon as men began to call themselves names, all hope of further amendment was lost.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
No voice but oh - the silence sank Like music on my heart.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The present system of taking oaths is horrible. It is awfully absurd to make a man invoke God's wrath upon himself, if he speaks false it is, in my judgment, a sin to do so.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Day after day, day after day, We stuck, nor breath nor motion As idle as a painted ship Upon a painted ocean.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Some persons have contended that mathematics ought to be taught by making the illustrations obvious to the senses. Nothing can be more absurd or injurious: it ought to be our never-ceasing effort to make people think, not feel.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The rules of prudence, like the laws of the stone tables, are for the most part prohibitive. Thou shalt not is their characteristic formula.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
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.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Look through the whole history of countries professing the Romish religion, and you will uniformly find the leaven of this besetting and accursed principle of action - that the end will sanction any means.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
A bitter and perplexed What shall I do? Is worse to man than worse necessity.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
As it must not, so genius cannot be lawless for it is even that constitutes its genius - the power of acting creatively under laws of its own origination.
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
The once red leaf, the last of its clan, that dances as often as dance it can.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The dwarf sees farther than the giant, when he has the giant's shoulders to mount on.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
For mother's sake the child was dear, and dearer was the mother for the child.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Death but supplies the oil for the inextinguishable lamp of life.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
