July 6, 2023The Three Sorts of Friends (fragment)
Though friendships differ endless in degree ,
The sorts , methinks, may be reduced to three.
Ac quaintance many, and Con quaintance few;
But for In quaintance I know only two–
The friend I’ve mourned with, and the maid I woo!
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.
