HARTLEY COLERIDGE, 1833
(1796-1849)
“To Shakespeare.”
The soul of man is larger than the sky,
Deeper than ocean, or the abysmal dark
Of the unfathom’d centre. Like that Ark,
Which in its sacred hold uplifted high,
O’er the drown’d hills, the human family,
And stock reserved of every living kind,
So in the compass of the single mind
