Coleridge as a poet
• Intense imaginative power, superbly
controlled.
• Witchery of language.
• Simplicity of diction.

‘‘The Rime of the Ancient Mariner.’’
In which he talked
about supernaturalism
by introducing readers
to a supernatural ship
and a crew of dead
men and the course of
Albatross; the amazing
scenes during the calm
and the storm; and the
return home.

His imaginative power
• Day after day, day after day,
We stuck, nor breath nor motion;
As idle as a painted ship
Upon a painted ocean.
Water, water, every where,
And all the boards did shrink;
Water, water, every where,
Nor any drop to drink.

‘‘Christabel (1797).’’
Christabel is the
tale of a kind of
witch, who, by
taking the shape of
a lovely lady, wins
the confidence of
the heroine
Christabel.

‘‘Kubla Khan 1798.’’ The poem, beginning
with a description of the stately pleasure-dome built by Kubla Khan in Xanadu, soon becomes a dreamlike series of dissolving views, each expressed in the most perfect imagery and most magical of verbal music, but it collapses in mid-career.
