The Mind

Phantom

by Samuel Taylor Coleridge 1772–1834

From Poems of Coleridge, selected by Arthur Symons (1905)

The Mind

All look and likeness caught from earth,
All accident of kin and birth,
Had pass'd away. There was no trace
Of aught on that illumined face,
Upraised beneath the rifted stone,
But of one spirit all her own;--
She, she herself, and only she,
Shone through her body visibly.
