Samuel Taylor Coleridge with the first stanza of the Rime of the Ancient Mariner.
Why does blessing the water snakes free the Mariner from the curse imposed on him for killing the Albatross? Why is it a part of the ancient Mariner’s penance that he must tell his story to strangers? Discuss Great Books style with your #BookGroup! #PoetryMonth #Coleridge

Now the Spring comes, the vital sap of my affections rises as in a tree! And what a gloomy Spring! But a few days ago all the new buds were covered with snow ; and everything yet looks so brown and wintry, that yesterday the roses (which the ladies carried on the ramparts, their promenade), beautiful as they were, so little harmonized with the general face of nature, that they looked to me like silk and made roses.

Göttingen from the South West - an colored copper-plate etching, dated 1791. Overwiew of the town, a few church spires, red roofs behind the fortifications. The Leine in the foreground, green pastures with cows, and quite a few people in the fields - all is green. The season may well be spring. Behind the town bald hills towards Northeast - Hainberg, Nikolausberg, which are now woodland. Source: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Goettingen_von_Suedwest.png

May 6, 1799, S.T. Coleridge remarks on the habit of taking promenades on the old fortifications of the small university town Göttingen - and the dismal spring in that year with snow up to May.
*Waves to the man from Porlock* #coleridge
DEVONSHIRE ROADS THE indignant Bard compos' d this furious ode, As tired he dragg'd his way thro' Plimtree road ! Crusted with filth and stuck in mire Dull sounds the Bard's bemudded lyre ; Nathless Revenge and Ire the Poet goad To pour his imprecations on the road. Curst road ! whose execrable way Was darkly shadow' d out in Milton's lay, When the sad fiends thro' Hell's sulphureous roads Took the first survey of their new abodes ; Or when the fall'n Archangel fierce Dared through the realms of Night to pierce, What time the Bloodhound lured by Human scent Thro' all Confusion's quagmires floundering went. Nor cheering pipe, nor Bird's shrill note Around thy dreary paths shall float ; Their boding songs shall scritch-owls pour To fright the guilty shepherds sore, Led by the wandering fires astray Thro' the dank horrors of thy way ! While they their mud-lost sandals hunt May all the curses, which they grunt In raging moan like goaded hog, Alight, upon thee, damned Bog ! 1790. S.T.Coleridge Source: https://archive.org/details/poemscolmet00coleuoft/page/14/mode/1up
Benjamin Haughton (1865–1924) 'Man Crossing a Field at Dusk' Oil on canvas Flat muddy field or meadow, some puddles or flecks with watery mud, wet wintery season under a grey sky. A man with black umbrella as a small human shape, indistinct and blurred: the person is apparently walking from or towards a farm, several dark houses in the shadow of tall trees, one a dark blackgreen pine or fir, the other trees without leaves. Inspite of the diffuse light and fuzzy contours, it is clearly seen that the wanderer does not walk in the dirt track through the field, but next to it to avoid the morass.

Sometimes, ugliness attracts the romantic mind. Here, it is also a solitary wanderer in a desolate landscape, S.T. Coleridge on a ramble in his home county.
COLOGNE In Köhln, a town of monks and bones, And pavements fanged with murderous stones, And rags, and hags, and hideous wenches, I counted two and seventy stenches, All well defined, and several stinks ! Ye Nymphs that reign o'er sewers and sinks, The river Rhine, it is well known, Doth wash your city of Cologne ; But tell me, Nymphs ! what power divine Shall henceforth wash the river Rhine ? 1828.

S.T. Coleridge's satirical piece of post-romantic disillusionment, the olfactory perception of a narrow medieval town as parallel & ironic impression tied to its picturesque charms:
✨ Coleridge never finished this haunting poem (much like Kubla Kahn, another "daemonic" work), though he always meant to. Personally I love it as is.

samuel taylor #coleridge and William #Wordsworth are always mentioned together. Both are great romantic poets. Wordsworth simplified everything while coleridge tried to sophisticate things as much as possible (that's the beauty of his poems - eg: Kubla Khan) - Both are incomparable

The Ocean is a noble Thing by night ; a beautiful white cloud of foam at momently intervals roars & rushes by the side of the Vessel, and Stars of Flame dance & sparkle & go out in it - & every now and then light Detachments of Foam dart away from the Vessel‘s side with their galaxies of stars, & scour out of sight, like a Tartar Tropp over a Wilderness! -- What these Stars are, I cannot say - the sailors say, that they are Fish Spawn which is phosphorescent. -- S.T. Coleridge to Mrs. S.T.Coleridge Collected Letters of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Vol.1 p.416, Nr.254 Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1956

Coleridge 'neither sick or giddy, but gay as a lark. The sea rolled rather high; but the motion was pleasant to me.' - boozes with 3 Danes, also passengers, who 'present a rich feast for a Dramatist'.
![Tuesday Night, 9’o clock. Sept. 18th 1798
Over what place does the Moon hang to your eye my dearest Sara ? To me it hangs over the left bank of the Elbe ; and a long trembling road of moonlight reaches from thence up to the stern of our Vessel, & there it ends. We have dropped anchor in the middle of the Stream 30 mile from Cuxhaven, where we arrived this morning at eleven o‘clock, after an unusually fine passage of only 48 hours -.

He looked at his own Soul
with a Telescope. What seemed
all irregular, he saw and
shewed to be beautiful
Constellations; and he added
to the Consciousness hidden
worlds within worlds.
