Of winds, and foaming torrents blended.
And now, with lofty tones inviting,
Thy NYMPH, her dulcimer swift smiting,
Shall wake me in ecstatic measures!
Far, far remov'd from mortal pleasures!
In cadence rich, in cadence strong,
Proving the wondrous witcheries of song!
I hear her voice! thy sunny dome,
Thy caves of ice, loud repeat,
Vibrations, madd'ning sweet,
Calling the visionary wand'rer home.
She sings of THEE, O favour'd child
Of Minstrelsy, SUBLIMELY WILD!
Of thee, whose soul can feel the tone
Which gives to airy dreams a magic ALL THY OWN!
Sublime is a great word to describe Coleridge and Robinson. They both use exaggeration and hyperbole in their poems. They both write using overwhelming emotion. Some sources say that this emotion is directly linking to both of their emotional and dramatic lifestyles that each of them live. For example, Robinson is an actor and a beautiful women involved in a marriage and is a successful author. She is the center of gossip and drama. Coleridge is an opium addict that is fascinated with the mind. These factors lead to very emotional poems.
