you can't force real discussion on Veeky Forums
you have to make a shitpost and let some contrarian genius turn it into a dialogue worthy of Plato
I'm inclined to agree so far though I'm just getting introduced to the two for my English Lit class. However Coleridge's life story is far more interesting to me (his addiction to lodinum in a time when the problem wasn't recognized).
I read "Dejection: An Ode" when I woke up this morning and he sucked me right into his melancholic world.
As far as I can tell he uses caesura and a conversational tone (as does Wordsworrth) to keep his poetry from getting faggy. Also excessive punctuation to keep readers excited and prevent them from killing themselves.
I read "Frost at Midnight" the other day and liked it. It's only a page if any shitposters here wish to read up and contribute meaningfully.
Thanks for making this thread

/You almost have to be reading him to discuss him adequately which for me was two summers ago, and I really went to town. Though the poetry's wonderful there really isn't much of it so to abide with Coleridge is to study the Biographia and the essays particularly in the Friend. His theory of poetic imagination should be front and center here when discussing matters of literary philosophy and psychology as it relates to the theory of literature as opposed to the Kant and Hegel, the Jung and Freud, one gets from the visitors here whose concerns are more political and social.
This post is better than possibly any serious reply ever could be
Dore's illustrations are better than the actual poem d e s u
cool find, user
Reminder that Wordsworth only reached the apex of his poetry (the final form of The Prelude) when he became more traditional and orthodox.
well it is a huge coleridge thread
is this in his "Paul Masson" era?
Except that it is demeaning, cynical and says essentially nothing except that neither he nor (you) have bothered to read Coleridge. Bravo, user.
Coleridge had by far the most penetrating mind of his day. I think he ought to be placed above Johnson, Bacon, and the other great English minds. And of course far above someone like nietzsche
Veeky Forums doesn't into poetry
Thank you man who wrote the poem that inspired Iron Maiden's bathroom song.
bump
His conversation poems are peak poetry.
