Image
So lonely 'twas that God himself Scarce seemed there to be.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
Love is the admiration and cherishing of the amiable qualities of the beloved person, upon the condition of yourself being the object of their action.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
It cannot but be injurious to the human mind never to be called into effort: the habit of receiving pleasure without any exertion of thought, by the mere excitement of curiosity, and sensibility, may be justly ranked among the worst effects of habitual novel-reading.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
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
Image
Tranquillity! thou better name Than all the family of Fame.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
Her skin was white as leprosy.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image

Image
The first man of science was he who looked into a thing, not to learn whether it furnished him with food, or shelter, or weapons, or tools, armaments, or playwiths but who sought to know it for the gratification of knowing.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
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
Image
The once red leaf, the last of its clan, that dances as often as dance it can.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
To believe and to understand are not diverse things, but the same things in different periods of growth.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
He prayeth best, who loveth best All things both great and small For the dear God who loveth us, He made and loveth all.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
Intense study of the Bible will keep any writer from being vulgar, in point of style.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
Joy is the sweet voice, joy the luminous cloud. We in ourselves rejoice! And thence flows all that charms or ear or sight, all melodies the echoes of that voice, all colours a suffusion from that light.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
Exclusively of the abstract sciences, the largest and worthiest portion of our knowledge consists of aphorisms: and the greatest and best of men is but an aphorism.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
No mind is thoroughly well organized that is deficient in a sense of humor.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
Carved with figures strange and sweet, All made out of the carver's brain.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
God is everywhere! the God who framed Mankind to be one, mighty family, Himself our Father, and the world our home.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
Ancestral voices prophesying war.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
The moving moon went up the sky, And nowhere did abide: Softly she was going up, And a star or two beside.
