Coleridge never met with a patron ; he who surpassed every poet but one in genius ; so he famished, exclaiming, " Work without hope, draws nectar in a sieve ! " And Wordsworth, with his narrow intellect and wide emotions, he had patrons ; the cloth took him up, and the public followed suit, an act they 7 8 MEMOIRS OF EIGHTY YEARS.
could only have performed for a third-rate poet, the first and second-rate being much above their comprehension.
The course of such human events will not have the sli...ghtest influence on men endowed with true poetic genius. They know the wording of their commission ; they know its signature, written as it is in invisible ink ; they know its seal, on which the six days of creative work is engraved, with Some One resting on the seventh.
The upshot of all this is, a poet is born to celebrate Nature, who is everlasting. He informs himself that nations fulfil only a given series of events, and that all concerning them, except their history and literature, is lost.
