Such, however, over and above the more known and more obvious ill effects upon the spirits and the health, were some of the stronger and more subtle effects of opium in disturbing the intellectual system, as well as the animal, the functions of the will also no less than those of the intellect, from which both Coleridge and myself were suffering at the period to which I now refer (1821-25) — evils which found their fullest exemplification in the very act upon which circumstances had now thrown
...me as the Hne qua non of my extrication from difficulties — viz., the act of literary composition. Thi? necessity, the fact of its being my one sole resource for the present, and the eatablbhed experience which I now had of the peculiar embarrassments and counteracting forces which I should find in opium, but still more in the train of consequences led behind by past opium — strongly co-operated with the mere physical despondency arising out of the liver. And this state of partial unhappiness, amongst other outward indications, expressed itself by one mark, which some people are apt greatly to misapprehend, as if it were some result of a sentimental turn of feeling — I mean perpetual sighs.
