What inspired Coleridge????
Hi guys,
Im new to the site and this is my first post!! Im into the romantics and im writing a bit of an essay on Coleridge. Im looking into what inspired him in his literary career. Im going to be looking at most of his poetry, but i want to look into Biographia Literaria aswell.
What do you guys think about the topic of inspiration concerning Coleridge??
Apologia pro Vita Sua/ a poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Apologia pro Vita Sua
The poet in his lone yet genial hour
Gives to his eyes a magnifying power :
Or rather he emancipates his eyes
From the black shapeless accidents of size--
In unctuous cones of kindling coal,
Or smoke upwreathing from the pipe's trim bole,
His gifted ken can see
Phantoms of sublimity.
