Whom should I choose for my Judge? (fragment)
July 6, 2023To William Wordsworth
July 6, 2023What Is Life?
Resembles Life what once was held of Light,
Too ample in itself for human sight ?
An absolute Self–an element ungrounded–
All, that we see, all colours of all shade
[Image]By encroach of darkness made ?–
Is very life by consciousness unbounded ?
And all the thoughts, pains, joys of mortal breath,
A war-embrace of wrestling Life and Death ?
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834) was an English poet and philosopher who is known for his works that explore themes of nature, the supernatural, and the human imagination. He was a leading figure in the Romantic movement and his works, including "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" and "Kubla Khan," continue to be celebrated for their lyrical beauty and imaginative power.
