Samuel Taylor Coleridge - Aplolgia Pro Vita Sua
Work rating: Low

The poet in his lone yet genial hour
Gives to his eyes a magnifying power :
Or rather he emancipates his eyes
From the black shapeless accidents of size—
In unctuous cones of kindling coal,
Or smoke upwreathing from the pipe`s trim bole,
     His gifted ken can see
     Phantoms of sublimity.


August 28, 1800.
