Samuel Taylor Coleridge

On Donne's Poetry

``With Donne, whose muse on dromedary trots,
Wreathe iron pokers into true-love knots ;
Rhyme's sturdy cripple, fancy's maze and clue,
Wit's forge and fire-blast, meaning's press and screw.''
More of his thoughts on Donne's poetry

1818?, not published in his lifetime

(proofed against E. H. Coleridge's 1927 edition of STC's poems)
