Samuel Taylor Coleridge
I stood in unimaginable trance And agony that cannot be remembered.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
If people could learn history, what lessons it might teach us!
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Alas! they had been friends in youth But whispering tongues can poison truth, And constancy lives in realms above And life is thorny, and youth is vain And to be wroth with one we love Doth work like madness in the brain.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Men of genius are rarely much annoyed by the company of vulgar people.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The fair breeze blew, The white foam flew, And the forrow followed free. We were the first to ever burst into the silent sea.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
A grief without a pang, void, dark and drear, A drowsy, stifled, unimpassioned grief, Which finds no natural outlet or relief, In word, or sigh, or tear.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
When thieves come, I bark when gallants, I am still - So perform both my master's and mistress's will.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The book of Job is pure Arab poetry of the highest and most antique cast.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Architecture exhibits the greatest extent of the difference from nature which may exist in works of art. It involves all the powers of design, and is sculpture and painting inclusively. It shows the greatness of man, and should at the same time teach him humility.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Taste is the intermediate faculty which connects the active with the passive powers of our nature, the intellect with the senses and its appointed function is to elevate the images of the latter, while it realizes the ideas of the former.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
He holds him with his glittering eye, And listens like a three years' child.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
It is a flat'ning Thought, that the more we have seen, the less we have to say.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
A great mind must be androgynous.
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
In Shakespeare one sentence begets the next naturally the meaning is all inwoven. He goes on kindling like a meteor through the dark atmosphere.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
