Background
A description of the experience
Bricks without Mortar – The Selected Poems of Hartley Coleridge
The insect birds that suck nectareous juice
From straightest tubes of curly petalled flowers
Or catch the honey-dew that falls profuse
Through the soft air, distil’d in viewless showers
Whose colours seem the very souls of gems
Or parting rays of fading diadems
I have but seen their feathers – that is all
As much as we can know of poets dead
Or living; but the gilded plumes that fall
Float on the earth, or in the wind dispread
Go everywhere to beautify the breeze
Sweet wind, surcharged with treasures such as these
The source of the experience
