Lyrical Ballads: “The principal object, then, proposed in these Poems was to choose incidents and situations from common life, and to relate or describe them . . . in a selection of language really used by men, and . . . throw over them a certain colouring of imagination, whereby ordinary things should be presented to the mind in an unusual aspect.” “Humble and rustic life was generally chosen, because . . . passions of the heart find a better soil” . . . and “are incorporated with the beautiful and permanent forms of nature.” William Wordsworth, 1798

“The Poem of my Friend has indeed great defects.” . . . “Yet the Poem contains many delicate touches of
passion, and indeed the passion is every where true to nature, a great number of
the stanzas present beautiful images, and are expressed with unusual felicity
of language.”.
William Wordsworth

According to Dorothy Wordsworth, Coleridge was “thin and pale, the lower part of his face not good, [with a] wide mouth, thick lips, not very good teeth, longish, loose, half-curling, rough, black hair.”
