The Pains Of Sleep

Water and windmills, greenness, Islets green;–
Willows whose Trunks beside the shadows stood
Of their own higher half, and willowy swamp:–
Farmhouses that at anchor seem’d–in the inland sky
The fog-transfixing Spires–
Water, wide water, greenness and green banks,
And water seen–
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

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.
