More quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
That agony returns And till my ghastly tale is told, This heart within me burns.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
An ear for music is very different from a taste for music. I have no ear whatever I could not sing an air to save my life but I have the intensest delight in music, and can detect good from bad.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
I stood in unimaginable trance And agony that cannot be remembered.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
