Samuel Taylor Coleridge: Cytaty po angielsku

“Works of imagination should be written in very plain language; the more purely imaginative they are the more necessary it is to be plain.”

31 May 1830.
Table Talk (1821–1834)
Kontekst: The Pilgrim's Progress is composed in the lowest style of English, without slang or false grammar. If you were to polish it, you would at once destroy the reality of the vision. For works of imagination should be written in very plain language; the more purely imaginative they are the more necessary it is to be plain.

“The many men, so beautiful!
And they all dead did lie:
And a thousand thousand slimy things
Lived on; and so did I.”

The white foam flew,
And the forrow followed free.
We were the first to ever burst into the silent sea.”

And is of sense forlorn:

He rose the morrow morn.”
