Samuel Taylor Coleridge (Сэмюэл Тэйлор Кольридж)
Aplolgia Pro Vita Sua
The poet in his lone yet genial hour Gives to his eyes a magnifying power: Or rather he emancipates his eyes From the black shapeless accidents of size-- In unctuous cones of kindling coal, Or smoke upwreathing from the pipe's trim bole, His gifted ken can see Phantoms of sublimity.
