Desire
Where true Love burns Desire is Love’s pure flame ;
It is the reflex of our earthly frame,
That takes its meaning from the nobler part,
And but translates the language of the heart.

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.
