Poetry of Coleridge Audiobook (Unabridged)

" This one is embarrassing for me. I read this in college and smugly thought Wordsworth to be a lightweight. What a joke. He's up there with the best. The calm and honest tone of many of the poems wasn't suited to my overwrought (and dishonest) 20 year old soul. "

" I know it's a crime for an English major, but I can't stand the Romantic poets. "

" Always fun to see how century old perspectives still apply to today. "

" Of course these are wonderful. If only he'd died a little younger, like a good lyric poet . . . "

" What hasn't been said about Wordsworth? "

" Well as much of it as I need to. Still less painful than The Prelude. "

" Perhaps I'll write more later. "

" Some high notes (Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Nightingale, a few others). A very nice read for when you can sit outside with nothing to do for a while. "

" Some of these are really great; amazing. But I usually need the teacher, or a class, to really delve into poetry. I have a neutral/difficult time with poetry. But these are great, and they were on the cutting edge at the time, ushering in a new way to write. "

" The insecure, oft-forgot poetical wanderings of Coleridge still trumping the turncoat Wordsworth. "

" I've finally read some Wordsworth! Some of these poems were absolutely lovely, but I still much prefer Keats and Tennyson. "

" I don't know...I can just totally relate to having bearded men with anochronistic accents and smokey-pale eyes coming up to me at weddings and going on and on about some bird they shot then wore around their neck. It's like I was 22 all over again. "

" There were some very good pieces here and some I didn't enjoy quite as much. Certainly a few of these feel a bit dated, but there is also some truly grand material. Well worth the read. "

" The Rime of the Ancient Maryner is one of the best poems I've ever read. The rest of the book is pretty awesome, but still I prefer Coleridge to Wordsworth. "

" I had to read some of the poems for uni and I decided to read them all. The poems included in this collection were all beautifully done :) Some of my favourites include "We Are Seven" and "Lines left upon a Seat in a Yew-tree." "

" As a reader who also happens to be engaged with modernist writers, I would say that romantic poetry appears elementary. That said, the works are exquisite and I am glad to have gotten this perspective. "

" William Wordsworth is my new hero. "

" I must say I prefer Wordsworth's contributions to Coleridge's. "

" an all time classic every educated person should read "

" I kind of got into it after one of my classmates (who is also named John but who is sexier than me) told me what Wordsworth was trying to do with time and space and death. But it is still totally not my style. "

" Wordsworth and Coleridge are a mixed bag for me, there is however, no denying the inteligence entwined within these poems and their are some amazing poems in the collection, 'We are Seven' being a praticular favourite. "

" Romantics just ain't really my dig. "

" Although I like nature, which Wordsworth goes on about ad infinitem, I found Wordsworth himself to be rather bossy, which diminished my enjoyment of his writings. "

" absolutely a classic. The story of European and, of course, English literature. The real romantic movement "
