Beheld the Iliad and the Odyssey
Rise to the swelling of the voiceful sea.

Additional quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge

The most general definition of beauty ... Multeity in Unity.

Sir, I admit your general rule,
That every poet is a fool,
But you yourself may serve to show it,
That every fool is not a poet.

Of great events stride on before the events,
And in to-day already walks to-morrow.
