Familiar Quotations: Coleridge

AuthorQuotation

Coleridge

A Gothic church is a petrified religion.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Ancestral voices prophesying war!
And in today already walks tomorrow.
All truth is a species of revelation.
Talk of the devil, and his horns appear.
Good and bad men are less than they seem.
No one does anything from a single motive.
. . . the folly of men is the wisdom of God.
What comes from the heart, goes to the heart.

Lexicography

Devil's Dictionary

WAR, n. A by-product of the arts of peace. The most menacing political condition is a period of international amity. The student of history who has not been taught to expect the unexpected may justly boast himself inaccessible to the light. "In time of peace prepare for war" has a deeper meaning than is commonly discerned; it means, not merely that all things earthly have an end -- that change is the one immutable and eternal law -- but that the soil of peace is thickly sown with the seeds of war and singularly suited to their germination and growth. It was when Kubla Khan had decreed his "stately pleasure dome" -- when, that is to say, there were peace and fat feasting in Xanadu -- that he heard from afar Ancestral voices prophesying war. One of the greatest of poets, Coleridge was one of the wisest of men, and it was not for nothing that he read us this parable. Let us have a little less of "hands across the sea," and a little more of that elemental distrust that is the security of nations. War loves to come like a thief in the night; professions of eternal amity provide the night.
