Samuel Coleridge dedicates his poem‚ The Eolian Harp‚ to his lover‚ and future wife‚ Sara Fricker. One theme I noticed throughout this poem was this childhood like behaviors that romantic poets seem to favor. Coleridge uses words like “innocence‚” “Fairy-Land‚” “phantasies‚” and “wild.” He really goes into fantasyland and describes it. One part of the poem I found confusing‚ however‚ is how “the eolian harp” responds to an “intellectual breeze.” In Coleridge’s‚ This Lime-Tree Bower My Prison‚ he

compelling poem “The Eolian Harp’ written by Samuel Coleridge is a poem of medium length‚ yet by no means a straight forward poem. Its message and ideals are elevated and hidden through Coleridge’s subtle capitalization of words‚ the pantheism riddled across the poem‚ and allusions of mythology and bible verses. However‚ this poem of wind‚ nature‚ music‚ and God is one of the most beautiful poems of the Romantic era because of its superior poetic usage of terms. The Eolian Harp in a brief overview

Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s “The Eolian Harp” and “Kubla Khan” proved intricate pieces of artwork‚ each meticulously written to submerge their reader into striking new worlds.

Although uniquely presented in each‚ they deal with similar themes of creation and creativity. However‚ neither reaches a consistent conclusion to the other

Ten hours of incessant rain had forced the scorpion to seek refuge in the poet’s house (rain water must have flooded its hiding place in the open) It sought refuge under a bag of rice and stung the poet’s mother when she went into that room. The viciously wicked creature poured its poison into her in a flash of its devilish tail and ventured out into the rain. On hearing of the unfortunate

The first line in the poem‚ “Lying in dug-outs‚ joking idly‚ wearily;” I immediately questioned if this poem was even about the war. When I think about war I don’t think of laughter and joking‚ I think about sadness and heartache. As I continued to read I realized that the poem was about how photographs gave the men an escape from war. “Watching the candle guttering in the draught”‚ meaning they watched the candle flame flutter in the cool air. They watched the flame every night as they looked at
