A description of the experience
Samuel Taylor Coleridge – The Complete Poems
To an unfortunate woman at the theatre
Thou hast known deceit and folly
Thou hast felt that vice is woe;
With a musing melancholy
Inly armed, go Maiden, go!
Mother sage of self dominion
Firm thy steps O Melancholy!
The strongest plume in wisdom's pinion
Is the memory of past folly
…........
Soon with renovated wing
Shall she dare a loftier flight
Upward to the day-star spring
And embathe in heavenly Light
