Apologia Pro Vita Sua

________________________________________________
Title:     Apologia Pro Vita Sua
Author: Samuel Taylor Coleridge [More Titles by Coleridge]

The poet in his lone yet genial hour
Gives to his eyes a magnifying power:
Or rather he emancipates his eyes
From the black shapeless accidents of size--
In unctuous cones of kindling coal,
Or smoke upwreathing from the pipe's trim hole,
His gifted ken can see
Phantoms of sublimity.

1800.
