Frost at Midnight

Samuel Taylor Coleridge was a British poet, literary critic, philosopher and theologian who, with his ally William Wordsworth, founded the Romantic Movement in England and a member of the Lake Poets. He made the verses The Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Kubla Khan, aside from the most important literary work Biographia Literaria. His major work, particularly on William Shakespeare, was very inspirational, and he bolstered in presenting German idealist philosophy to English-speaking countries. Samuel originated countless conventional terms and phrases, such as suspension of disbelief. He was a huge inspiration on Ralph Waldo Emerson and American transcendentalism.In spite of being greatly commemorated currently for his verse and literary criticism, Samuel was also a theologian. His works are lectures of the stature of Scripture, the tenets of the Fall, rationalization and benediction, and the character and eternity of God. A leading dignitary in the Anglican theology during his time, his works are still habitually conferred to by fellow Anglican theologians, and preeminent characters including F.D. Maurice, F.J.A. Hort, F.W. Robertson, B.F. Westcott, John Oman and Thomas Erskine once known as the 'Scottish Coleridge', were all encouraged by him.These 8 poems such The Eolian Harp; Reflections on having left a Place of Retirement; This Lime-Tree Bower my Prison; Frost at Midnight; Fears in Solitude; The A Conversation Poem; An Ode; and To William Wordsworth, are deliberated as such and given the title, Conversation poems. The words itself was contrived by George McLean Harper, who assumed the subtitle of The A Conversation Poem to illustrate the 7 other verses moreover. The verses are regarded by uncounted critics to be one of Samuel’s best poems; thence Harold Bloom has stated, "With Dejection, The Ancient Mariner, and Kubla Khan, Frost at Midnight shows Coleridge at his most impressive."
