"My mind had been habituated to the vast and I never regarded my senses in any way as the criteria of my belief." Wow. Never heard that Coleridge quote. Thanks for the upload. 🙂

Thank you for a wonderful documentary. I can never decide whether Wordsworth or Coleridge was the greater poet. This made me lean towards Coleridge ❤

[@carywarren7800]

You are correct.

[@IncompetentKlutz]

@carywarren7800 Probably. Although just yesterday, I looked at Book 14 of The Prelude, which, to me, is the most exquisite verse ever written. I'm 50/50 now. ❤️

We could all do with some of that 'laudium' old Samuel took, if it produced the 'Ancient Mariner' or 'Kublai Khan'! Then they would 'knock' him by saying he was 'bipolar', another term for 'maniac depressiant'--so was Michelangelo, De Quincey and Tennyson, to name but a few of those other artistic men of the past!!!

Haha thank you. I had left the volume on some of my background songs too high so had to re-upload.
