柯勒律治是英国浪漫主义诗人的杰出代表之一，与华兹华斯、骚塞并称“湖畔诗人”。其诗作展现了英国浪漫主义瑰丽、神秘的一面，开纯诗、抽象诗之先河。他在文学理论上的重大建树，尤其对想象力的精辟论述使他前抗古典主义，后启现代主义，成为当时几乎全部英国浪漫主义诗人——从布莱克到济慈——的代言人。

The Complete Poems《柯勒律治诗选》按照诗人写作的时间顺序，收录了其经典的诗歌，其中包括Rime of the Ancient Mariner《古舟子咏》、Kubla Khan《忽必烈汗》、Frost at Midnight《霜夜》等名篇。这些诗歌有的是诗人对过往人生的回忆，有的表达他对死亡与爱情的沉思，但都充分体现了柯勒律治的诗歌才华，受到读者深深的喜爱。

"O pure of heart! thou need’st not ask of me What this strong music in the soul may be!"
One of the major figures of English Romanticism, Samuel Taylor Coleridge created works of remarkable diversity and imaginative genius. The period of his creative friendship with William Wordsworth inspired some of Coleridge’s best-known poems, from the nightmarish vision of the "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" and the opium-inspired "Kubla Khan" to the sombre passion of "Dejection: An Ode" and the medieval ballad "Christabel." His meditative ‘conversation’ poems, such as "Frost at Midnight" and "This Lime-Tree Bower Mr Prison," reflect on remembrance and solitude, while late works, such as "Youth and Age" and "Constancy to an Ideal Object," are haunting meditations on mortality and lost love.
This volume contains the final texts of all the poems published during Coleridge’s lifetime and a substantial selection from those still in manuscript at his death, arranged in chronological order of composition to show his development as a poet. Also included are an introduction, table of dates, further reading, extensive notes, and indexes of titles and first lines.

塞缪尔·泰勒·柯勒律治（Samuel Taylor Coleridge，1772—1834），英国诗人、文评家，英国浪漫主义文学巨匠和奠基人之一，“湖畔派”诗人代表。柯勒律治在诗歌和文评方面都占有重要地位，骚塞、华兹华斯、拜伦、雪莱、济慈等诗人均深受他的影响。他与华兹华斯合著的《抒情歌谣集》出版于1798年，标志着英国文学史上浪漫主义时代的开端。他的《文学传记》以博大精深见称，书中的论点成为“新批评派”的理论源泉。

Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772 - 1834) was one of the first figures of the Romantic movement, and a poet, philosopher and critic. His close friendship with Dorothy and William Wordsworth, whom he met in 1797, led to the publication of the "Lyrical Ballads", which marked a conscious break with poetic tradition and includes one of Coleridge's most famous poems, "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner". 

Easter Holidays

I
Hail! festal Easter, that dost bring
Approach of sweetly smiling spring,
When Nature’s clad in green:
When feather’d songsters through the grove
With beasts confess the power of love,
And brighten all the scene.

II
Now Youths the breaking stages load,
That swiftly rattling o’er the road
To Greenwich haste away;
While some with sounding oars divide
Of smoothly flowing Thames the tide:
All sing the festive lay.

III
With mirthful dance they beat the ground,
Their shouts of joy the hills resound
And catch the jocund noise:
Without a tear, without a sigh,
Their moments all in transport fly
Till evening ends their joys.

IV
But little think their joyous hearts
Of dire Misfortune’s varied smarts,
Which youthful years conceal;
Thought Less of bitter smiling woe,
Which all mankind are born to know,
And they themselves must feel.

V
Yet he, who wisdom’s paths shall keep,
And virtue firm, that scorns to weep
At ills in fortune’s power;
Through this life’s variegated scene,
In raging storms-- or calms serene,
Shall cheerful spend the hour.

VI
While steady virtue guides his mind,
Heav’n born content he still shall find,
That never sheds a tear:
Without respect to any tide,
His hours away in bliss shall glide,
Like Easter all the year.
