And they three passed over the white sands, between the rocks, silent as the shadows.
Samuel Taylor ColeridgeWater, water, everywhere, And all the boards did shrink; Water, water, everywhere, Nor any drop to drink.
Samuel Taylor ColeridgeDeep thinking is attainable only by a man of deep feeling, and all truth is a species of revelation
Samuel Taylor Coleridge[Coleridge] selected an instance of what was called the sublime, in DARWIN, who imagined the creation of the universe to have taken place in a moment, by the explosion of a mass of matter in the womb, or centre of space. In one and the same instant of time, suns and planets shot into systems in every direction, and filled and spangled the illimitable void! He asserted this to be an intolerable degradation -referring, as it were, all the beauty and harmony of nature to something like the bursting of a barrel of gunpowder! that spit its combustible materials into a pock-freckled creation!
