Nor is it the chaotic, anarchic, incoherent world of arabesque romance, where the real and unreal by turns arbitrarily interrupt and supplant each other, and are never reconciled at heart. On the contrary, here is no inconsistency, for with the constitution of this dream-iealm nothing except the natural and the probable could be incon- sistent. Here is no danger of the intellect or the reason pronouncing an adverse judgment, for the venue has been changed to a court where the jurisdiction of fa...ntasy is supreme. Thus far then, the Logic of the Incredible is perfect, and the result, from the view point of art, magni- ficent. But at last we quit this consistently, unimpeachably, most satisfactorily impossible world; we are restored to the world of common experience ; and when so restoring us, the poet makes his first and only mistake. For the concluding miracle, or rather brace of miracles — the apparition of the angelic forms standing over COLERIDGE S SUPERNATURALISM ^Ol the corpses of the crew, and the sudden preter- natural sinking of the ship — take place just when we have returned to the province of the natural and regular, to the sphere of the actual and the known ; just when, floating into harbour, we sight the well-remembered kirk on the rock, and the steady weathercock which the moon- light steeps in silentness.
