The man hath penance done, And penance more will do.

The blue and bright-eyed floweret of the brook, Hope's gentle gem, the sweet Forget-me-not.

O let me be awake, my God! Or let me sleep alway.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

Hamlet 's character is the pre...

Hamlet 's character is the prevalence of the abstracting and generalizing habit over the practical. He does not want courage, skill, will, or opportunity; but every incident sets him thinking; and it is curious, and at the same time strictly natural, that Hamlet, who all the play seems reason itself, should he impelled, at last, by mere accident to effect his object. I have a smack of Hamlet myself, if I may say so.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

Never to see or describe any i...

Never to see or describe any interesting appearance in nature, without connecting it by dim analogies with the moral world, proves faintness of Impression. Nature has her proper interest; & he will know what it is, who believes & feels, that every Thing has a life of it's own, & that we are all one Life.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

The intelligible forms of anci...

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.

The Eighth Commandment was not made for bards.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

Seldom can philosophic genius ...

Seldom can philosophic genius be more usefully employed than in thus rescuing admitted truths from the neglect caused by the very circumstance of their universal admission.

Experience informs us that the first defence of weak minds is to recriminate.

The Reformation in the sixteenth century narrowed Reform. As soon as men began to call themselves names, all hope of further amendment was lost.

Dryden 's genius was of that sort which catches fire by its own motion; his chariot wheels get hot by driving fast.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

Moral obligation is to me so v...

Moral obligation is to me so very strong a Stimulant, that in 9 cases out of ten it acts as a Narcotic. The Blow that should rouse, stuns me.

Bells, the poor man's only music.

Trochee trips from long to short; From long to long in solemn sort Slow Spondee stalks.

Indignation at literary wrongs I leave to men born under happier stars. I cannot afford it.

Milton had a highly imaginative, Cowley a very fanciful mind.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

The poet, described in ideal p...

The poet, described in ideal perfection, brings the whole soul of man into activity, with the subordination of its faculties to each other according to their relative worth and dignity. He diffuses a tone and spirit of unity, that blends, and (as it were) fuses , each into each, by that synthetic and magical power, to which I would exclusively appropriate the name of Imagination.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

The age seems sore from excess...

The age seems sore from excess of stimulation, just as a day or two after a thorough Debauch and long sustained Drinking-match a man feels all over like a Bruise. Even to admire otherwise than on the whole and where 'I admire' is but a synonyme for 'I remember, I liked it very much when I was reading it ,' is too much an effort, would be too disquieting an emotion!

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

The author of Biographia Literaria was already a ruined man. Sometimes, however, to be a 'ruined man' is itself a vocation.

Carved with figures strange and sweet, All made out of the carver's brain.
