More quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
I look'd to Heav'n, and try'd to pray But or ever a prayer had gusht, A wicked whisper came and made My heart as dry as dust.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The intelligible forms of ancient poets, The fair humanities of old religion, The power, the beauty, and the majesty That had their haunts in dale or piny mountain, Or forest by slow stream, or pebbly spring, Or chasms and watery depths, all these have vanished They live no longer in the faith of reason.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Her lips were red, her looks were free, Her locks were yellow as gold: Her skin was white as leprosy, The Nightmare Life-in-Death was she, Who thicks man's blood with cold.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Novels are to love as fairy tales to dreams.
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
What is an epigram? A dwarfish whole, its body brevity, and wit its soul.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
I may not hope from outward forms to win / The passion and the life, whose fountains are within.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
And here were forests ancient as the hills, Enfolding sunny spots of greenery.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
This world has angels all too few, and heaven is overflowing.
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
I have heard of reasons manifold Why Love must needs be blind, But this the best of all I hold,- His eyes are in his mind.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Method means primarily a way or path of transit. From this we are to understand that the first idea of method is a progressive transition from one step to another in any course. If in the right course, it will be the true method if in the wrong, we cannot hope to progress.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Creation rather than painting, or if painting, yet such, and with such co-presence of the whole picture flash'd at once upon the eye, as the sun paints in a camera obscura. (Describing his poetic ideal, 1817)
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Is duty a mere sport, or an employ! Life an entrusted talent or a toy!
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Brute animals have the vowel sounds man only can utter consonants.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
If people could learn history, what lessons it might teach us!
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The form is mechanic when on any given material we impress a predetermined form. The organic form, on the other hand, is innate, it shapes as it develops itself from within.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Genius of the highest kind implies an unusual intensity of the modifying power.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
All men, even the most surly are influenced by affection.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
You may depend upon it, religion is, in its essence, the most gentlemanly thing in the world. It will alone gentilize, if unmixed with cant and I know nothing else that will, alone. Certainly not the army, which is thought to be the grand embellisher of manners.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
