A man of profound imagination and romanticism, Samuel Taylor Coleridge
has contributed into the world of English literature with such lyrical
ballads that the generations to come will always be oblidged to him for
Kubla Khan, The Ancient Mariner and Biographia Literaria.
"I laugh more, and talk more nonsense in a week, than most other people
do in a year," said none other than Samuel Taylor Coleridge. He was a
person whose life was a tight rope walk.
His medical history, his shaping years and his drug reliance created
his reputation as an opium-taker. A philosopher-poet, who left the
scene of childhood and adolescence, bidding goodbye with nostalgic
reluctance. Being a hardworking person, he traveled extensively to
bring reforms. Throughout his life he longed for his lady love, never
enjoyed strong family bonds but was lucky to have sincere friends. Life
created a whirl for him, but he proved himself to be a good swimmer by
crossing it successfully. Life offered him thorns yet he smartly
plucked flowers and paid back the best to the world.
