S.T. Coleridge is considered one of the most popular artist in the First Generation of Romantic Poets, especially for his collaboration with Wiliam Wordsworth in writing the Lyrical Ballads. The two authors and friends were two sides of the same coin: they represented an opposite perspective towards poetry and Nature (beautiful vs sublime) but they both shared a pantheistic view, which considers Nature as an organic living whole that the human being should respect.
In Coleridge's masterpiece "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" the message of love and respect for Nature and for the spiritual truth that permeats it is conveyed through
a complex language and an elaborated symbolism. The Ballad, mostly belonging to the traditional pattern but also unconventional in his exceptions, is divided into seven parts
with a little summary about the plot. It's the highest expression of Coleridge "poetic faith" and the highest representation of him as a poet prophet.
