What are some philosophical approaches on life from the romantic period?
Samuel Taylor Coleridge (October 21, 1772 – July 25, 1834) (pronounced /ˈkoʊlərɪdʒ/ or /ˈkoʊlrɪdʒ/) was an English poet, critic, and philosopher who was, along with his friend William Wordsworth, one of the founders of the Romantic Movement in England and one of the Lake Poets. He is probably best known for his poems The Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Kubla Khan, as well as his major prose work Biographia Literaria. Day after day, day after day, We stuck, nor breath nor motion; As idle as a painted ship Upon a painted ocean. Water, water, everywhere, And all the boards did shrink; Water, water, everywhere, Nor any drop to drink. He prayeth best, who loveth best All things both great and small; For the dear God who loveth us, He made and loveth all.
