Samuel Taylor Coleridge - As some vast Tropic tree, itself a wood (fragment)Samuel Taylor Coleridge - As some vast Tropic tree, itself a wood (fragment)
Work rating: Low


As some vast Tropic tree, itself a wood,    That crests its Head with clouds, beneath the flood    Feeds its deep roots, and with the bulging flank    Of its wide base controls the fronting bank,    (By the slant current`s pressure scoop`d away    The fronting bank becomes a foam-piled bay)    High in the Fork the uncouth Idol knits    His channel`d Brows; low murmurs stir by fits    And dark below the horrid Faquir sits;   An Horror from its broad Head`s branchy wreath   Broods o`er the rude Idolatry beneath—
