Fragment 7: When Hope but made Tranquillity be felt

BY SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE

When Hope but made Tranquillity be felt—

A Flight of Hopes for ever on the wing

But made Tranquillity a conscious Thing—

And wheeling round and round in sportive coil

Fann'd the calm air upon the brow of Toil—

I like reading these fragments. A link to read more is here. http://www.poetryfoundation.org/bio/samuel-taylor-coleridge

Desire by Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Desire

BY SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE

Where true Love burns Desire is Love’s pure flame;

It is the reflex of our earthly frame,

That takes its meaning from the nobler part,

And but translates the language of the heart.

Gorgeous language that lasts over time. More about this poet is linked here. http://www.poets.org/poet.php/prmPID/292
