“How seldom, friend! a good great man inheritsHonour or wealth with all his worth and pains!It sounds like stories from the land of spiritsIf any man obtain that which he meritsOr any merit that which he obtains.”REPLY TO THE ABOVEFor shame, dear friend, renounce this canting strain!What would’st thou have a good great man obtain? Place? titles? salary? a gilded chain? Or throne of corses which his sword had slain?

Samuel Taylor Coleridge a commencé à tenir un carnet de notes en 1794 dans sa vingt deuxième année, lors d’une randonnée au Pays de Galles. Il devait en garder l’habitude quarante ans durant, jusqu’aux dernières semaines de sa vie. Ces carnets, le poète les qualifia lui-même de « carnets de poche », de « confidents », « d’amis » ou de « compagnons ».

Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity.

In Xanadu did Kubla KhanA stately pleasure-dome decree:Where Alph, the sacred river, ranThrough caverns measureless to man   Down to a sunless sea. So twice five miles of fertile groundWith walls and towers were girdled round;And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills,Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree;And here were forests ancient as the hills,Enfolding sunny spots of greenery.
