Coleridge's Imagination

           Although Coleridge’s later life was totally different from the life he used to have. He lost three significant things that a person should have, which are marriage, friendship, and health. However, I believe that this troubles instead of pulling him down, they strength his imagination. According to his extraordinary memory and powerful, persuasive expression of ideas, Coleridge could use these real life examples to create more work on different areas. For instance, he continued writing and mostly about philosophy and literary criticism, until his death in London. I think that philosophy is about life and love. These are part of the things he lost, which are health and marriage. On the other hand, he published work about literary criticism. This makes me think of William Wordsworth; because he lost his best friend and no one’s work can compare and compete with his best friend’s. Although this troubles make Coleridge suffered, they do not stop Coleridge’s imagination; they only made his ideas more powerful and unique.
