Thank you, this is a really good talk on this. I find the comparison of the two poets very enlightening! I just created an artistic recording based on a Coleridge poem but did not know this going in.
great video. Coleridge was truly an amazing poet. he really manages to get across the feeling of being enveloped in a haze of opium. fever dreaming while you are awake. 'opium visions' i believe he called them.
Nice video, thanks. I always thought Wordsworth was better than Coleridge. But truly, they don’t compare to their predecessors Marlowe, Jonson, and of course, Billy Shakes.
How would you know you are not a M.D. chasing the dragon was common in that period when you could go to the chemist's shop yo buy plant-based medicines cannabis, opium and ethanol-laudanum, even cocaine20% solution
