“The imagination ... that reconciling and mediatory power, which incorporating the reason in images of the sense and organizing (as it were) the flux of the senses by the permanence and self-circling energies of the reason, gives birth to a system of symbols, harmonious in themselves, and consubstantial with the truths of which they are the conductors.”
“No mind is thoroughly well organized that is deficient in a sense of humor.”
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
“People of humor are always in some degree people of genius.”
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
“Friendship is a sheltering tree.”
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
“Love is flower like; Friendship is like a sheltering tree.”
