He was so gloomy! So depressed.
Interesting selection. 'A Letter To' and 'Dejection' back to back give you the impression that you know Coleridge's favourite images very well.
I don't connect to his shorter things, but man what trips 'Christabel' and 'The Ancyent Marinere' are! I wish he had written more this sort of short-metre-gothic-fantasy stuff, it really does everything.

I didn't really get much out of this. There were two poems I really liked ('The Nightingale' and 'The Pains of Sleep') but the rest mostly wasn't for me. [Plus, I just don't really are about the letters at the end - why include those in this collection?]
