Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The history of man for the nine months preceding his birth would, probably, be far more interesting and contain events of greater moment than all the three score and ten years that follow it.
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
Love is flower like Friendship is like a sheltering tree.

Common sense in an uncommon degree is what the world calls wisdom.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Death but supplies the oil for the inextinguishable lamp of life.
