COLERIDGE.
Works of imagination should be written

in very plain language; the more purely imaginative they are the more necessary it is to be plain.

COLERIDGE.
What is an epigram? A dwarfish whole,

its body brevity, and wit its soul.

COLERIDGE.
Only the wise possess ideas;
the

greater part of mankind are possessed by them.

COLERIDGE.
If you would stand well with a

great mind, leave him with a favorable impression of yourself; if with a little mind, leave him with a favorable impression of himself.

first and
wisest of beasts, it may be; but still true beasts.
We shall only differ in degree, and not in kind;
just as the elephant differs from the slug. But by
the concession of all the materialists of all the
schools, or almost all, we are not of the same
kind as beasts--and this also we say from our
own consciousness. Therefore, methinks, it
must be the possession of a soul within us that
makes the difference.

COLERIDGE.
The Earth with its scarred face is the
symbol of

the Past; the Air and Heaven,
of Futurity.

COLERIDGE.
I think nothing can be added to

Milton's definition or rule of poetry,--that it ought to be simple, sensuous, and impassioned; that is to say, single in conception, abounding in sensible images, and informing them all with the spirit of the mind.

COLERIDGE.
Silence does not always mark wisdom. I was at
dinner,

some time ago, in company with a man,
who listened to me and said nothing for a long
time; but he nodded his head, and I thought

ибо он основан на новом принципе – на
подсчете в каждой строке не всех, а только ударных

семи до двенадцати, ударными среди них всегда будут

переменами в системе образов или настроении поэмы.

the castle clock And the owls have awakened the crowing

cock; Tu-whit!- Tu-whoo! And hark, again! the crowing cock, How drowsily it crew. Sir Leoline, the Baron rich, Hath a toothless mastiff, which From her kennel beneath the rock Maketh answer to the clock, Four for the quarters, and twelve for the hour; Ever and aye, by shine and shower, Sixteen short howls, not over loud; Some say, she sees my lady's shroud.

night is chilly, but not dark. The thin gray cloud

is spread on high, It covers but not hides the sky. The moon is behind, and at the full; And yet she looks both small and dull. The night is chill, the cloud is gray: 'T is a month before the month of May, And the Spring comes slowly up this way.

разбудил петуха.
Ту-ху! Ту-уит! И снова пенье петуха,
Как

сонно он кричит!
Сэр Леолайн, знатный барон,
Старую суку имеет он.
Из своей конуры меж скал и кустов
Она отвечает бою часов,
Четыре четверти, полный час,
Она завывает шестнадцать раз.

холодна ли и темна?
Ночь холодна, но не темна!

Серая туча в небе висит,
Но небосвод сквозь нее сквозит.

Еще через месяц - маю черед,
Так медленно весна идет.

We stuck, nor breath nor motion;
As

idle as a painted ship
Upon a painted ocean.
