God! sing, ye meadow-streams, with gladsome voice! Ye pine-groves, with your soft and soul-like sounds! And they too have a voice, you piles of snow, And in their perilous fall shall thunder, God!

More quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Never pursue literature as a trade.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Our own heart, and not other men's opinion, forms our true honor.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Some men are like musical glasses to produce their finest tones you must keep them wet.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
To doubt has more of faith ... than that blank negation of all such thoughts and feelings which is the lot of the herd of church-and-meeting trotters.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
To admire on principle is the only way to imitate without loss of originality.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Like one, that on a lonesome road Doth walk in fear and dread, And having once turned round walks on, And turns no more his head Because he knows, a frightful fiend Doth close behind him tread.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
And to be wroth with one we love…Doth work like madness in the brain.
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
It is a gentle and affectionate thought, that in immeasurable height above us, at our first birth, the wreath of love was woven with sparkling stars for flowers.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
I may not hope from outward forms to win / The passion and the life, whose fountains are within.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Motives are symptoms of weakness, and supplements for the deficient energy of the living principle, the law within us. Let them then be reserved for those momentous acts and duties in which the strongest and best-balanced natures must feel themselves deficient, and where humility no less than prudence prescribes deliberation.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
All men, even the most surly are influenced by affection.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The once red leaf, the last of its clan, that dances as often as dance it can.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Carved with figures strange and sweet, All made out of the carver's brain.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Not one man in a thousand has either strength of mind or goodness of heart to be an Atheist. I repeat it. Not one man in a thousand has either strength of mind or goodness of heart to be an Atheist.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
I have seen great intolerance shown in support of tolerance.
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
He who begins by loving Christianity more than Truth, will proceed by loving his sect or church better than Christianity, and end in loving himself better than all.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Swiftly, swiftly flew the ship, Yet she sailed softly too: Sweetly, sweetly blew the breeze - On me alone it blew.
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
