Coleridge's Own Voice
3,708 wordsColeridge and the Explosion of Voice Coleridge is so often described in terms which are akin to the word, "explosive", and by all accounts he was at times an unusually dynamic, charismatic and unpredictable person. His writings themselves could also be termed "explosive" merely from their physical form; a fragmented mass, some pieces finished but most not, much of his writing subject to procrastination or eventual change of mind. Today I want to address a moment in his life which produced, as Ri...

Peacefulness And Beauty Of Nature
376 wordsSamuel Coleridge: Frost at Midnight In the poem, "Frost at Midnight", Samuel Coleridge uses his creative imagery and fascination with nature to create a beautiful picture of the gifts God has given him and us.

This kingdom has a "pleasure dome" that was created...

The trajectory of the poem may be plotted as follows: terrestrial observations, fixation upon single terrestrial item (i.e. the harp), exulting single item into transcendence, an astral purview of the terrestrial via the item, reassessment of mind frame, guilt and denunciation of transcendent thought, and finally, remorse and dismissal of all preceding drivel (as to adequately and respec...
