Apologia pro Vita sua by Samuel Taylor Coleridge Lyrics

Genre: misc | Year: 2013

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 hole,
       &nbsp       &nbspHis gifted ken can see
       &nbsp       &nbspPhantoms of sublimity.
