This takes two stanzas and ends with the poet in active contemplation of the sun: Ah! To this extent Thoughts in Prison bridges the transition from religious to secular confession in the course of the late eighteenth century, a watershed—to which "This Lime-Tree Bower" contributed its rivulet—decisively marked at its inception by Rousseau's Confessions of 1782 and vigorously exploited as it neared its end by De Quincey in his two-part Confessions of an English Opium-Eater in 1821. 16] "They, meanwhile, " writes Coleridge, "Wander in gladness, and wind down, perchance, / To that still roaring dell, of which I told" (5-9; italics added). The Incarceration Trope.
These poems, generally known as the Conversation Poems, all take the form of an address from the poet to a familiar companion, variously Sara Fricker, David Hartley Coleridge (Coleridge's infant son), Charles Lamb, the Wordsworths, or Sarah Hutchinson. 25] Reiman, 336, calls attention to the deliberate tone of "equivocation" in Coleridge's avowals of self-parody, reiterated many years later in the pages of the Biographia Literaria, "his use of half-truths that almost, but do not quite, openly reveal his earlier moral lapses and overtly suggest both contrition and his delight in the deception. " Ivy in Latin is hedera, which means 'grasper, holder' (from the same root as the Ancient Greek name of the plant: χανδάνω, "to get, grasp"). "Smart and consistently humorous. " They immediat...

The "histrionic plangencies" of "This Lime-Tree Bower" puzzle readers like Michael Kirkham, who finds "the emotions of the speaker [to be] in excess of the circumstances as presented": He is the freeman whom the truth makes free, And all are slaves beside. As I say above: Coleridge, with a degree of conscious hyperbole, styles himself in this poem as lamed in the foot and blind.
Here are the Laurel with bitter berries, slender Lime-trees, Paphian Myrtle, and the Alder, destined to sweep its oarage over the boundless sea; and here, mounting to meet the sun, a Pine-tree lifts its knotless bole to front the winds. 609, 611) A "homely Porter" (4. 19] Two of these analogues are of special interest to us in connection with Mary Lamb's murder of her mother and Coleridge's own youthful attempt on his brother's life. An emphasis on nature, imagination, strong emotion, and the importance of subjective judgment mark both "This Lime-tree Bower My Prison" and the Romantic movement as a whole. Both Philemon and BaucisMaybe Coleridge, in his bower, is figuring himself a kind of Orpheus, evoking a whole grove with his words alone. Despite her youngest son's self-avowed status as his "mother's darling" (Griggs 1. Study Pack contains: Essays & Analysis. However, in the same month that Lloyd departed for Litchfield —March of 1797—Coleridge had to assure Joseph Cottle, his publisher, that making room for Lloyd's poetry in the volume would enhance its "saleability, " since Lloyd's rich "connections will take off a great many more than a hundred [copies], I doubt not" (Griggs 1. In this section, we also find his transformed perception of his surroundings and his deep appreciation for it. Taken together, writes Crawford, these two half-hidden events "suggest that a violent history of the human subject" may lie at the heart of the poem (190), and she identifies this violent history with the poem's abjection of the feminine and the "domestic" (199). Realization that he is able to get more pleasure from a contemplative journey than a physical. He actually feels happy in his own right, and, having exercised his sensory imagination so much, starts to notice and appreciate his own surroundings in the bower. He adds, "I wish you would send me my Great coat—the snow & the rain season is at hand" (Marrs 1.
89-90), lines that reinforce imagistic associations between "This Lime-Tree Bower"'s "fantastic" dripping weeds and the dripping blood of a murder victim. As I myself were there! EmergeThis, as Goux might say, is mythos to logos visualised as the movement from aspective to perspective. Religious imagery comes to the fore: the speaker compares the hills his friends are seeing to steeples. As veil the Almighty Spirit, when yet he makes. I say to you: Fate, and trembling fearful Disease, Starvation, and black Plague, and mad Despair, come you all along with me, come with me, be my sweet guides. To Southey he wrote, on 17 July, "Wordsworth is a very great man—the only man, to whom at all times & in all modes of excellence I feel myself inferior" (Griggs 1. But it's hardly good news for Oedipus, himself. Doubly incapacitated. Now he doesn't view himself as a prisoner in the lime-tree bower that he regarded it as a prison earlier. As we shall see, what is denied in "This Lime-Tree Bower, " or as Kirkham puts it, evaded, is the poet's own "angry spirit, " as he expressed it in Albert's dungeon soliloquy.
One time, when young Sam was six and had been confined to his room with "putrid fever, " Frank "stole up in spite of orders to the contrary, and sat by my bedside, and read Pope's Homer to me" (Griggs 1. Whose early spring bespoke. That said, 'Lime-Tree Bower' is clearly a poem that encompasses both the sunlit tracts above, and the murky, unsunn'd underworld beneath: that is, encompasses both Christian consolation and a kind of hidden pagan potency. Much that has sooth'd me. Hung the transparent foliage; and I watch'd. Secondary Imagination can perhaps be seen when Coleridge in the first stanza of this poem consciously imagines what natural wonders and delights his friends are seeing whilst they go on a walk and he is "trapped" in his prison. Comes sudden on my heart, and I am glad. Not least, the poem's obvious affinities with the religious tradition of confessional literature extending back to Augustine sets it apart. When the last rookBeat its straight path across the dusky airHomewards, I blest it! Nor should we forget, despite Lamb's being designated the recipient of God's healing grace in "This Lime-Tree Bower, " evidence linking Coleridge's characterization of the poem's scene of writing as a "prison" with the reckless agent of the "strange calamity" that had befallen his "gentle-hearted" friend. See also Mileur, 43-44. "—is what seems to make it both available and, oddly, more attractive to Coleridge as an imaginary experience. Whatever he may imagine these absent wanderers to be perceiving, the poet remains imprisoned in his solitary thoughts as his poem comes to an end.
A casual perusal of the text, however, makes it clear that most of the change between the two versions resulted from the addition of new material to the first stanza of the verse letter. If, as Gurion Taussig speculates, the friendship with Lloyd "hover[ed] uneasily between a mystical union of souls and a worldly business arrangement, grounded firmly in Coleridge's financial self-interest" (230), it is indicative of the older poet's desperate financial circumstances that he clung to that arrangement as long as he did. The bark closed over their lips and concealed them forever. For a detailed comparison of the two texts, see Appendix 3 of Talking with Nature in "This Lime-Tree Bower My Prison".

This Shmoop Poetry Guide offers fresh analysis, a line-by-line close reading of the poem, examination of the poet's technique, form, meter, rhyme, symbolism, jaw-dropping trivia, a glossary of poetry terms, and more. That only one letter to his mother, formal and distant in tone, survived from his days at Christ's Hospital; that he barely maintained contact with her after his own marriage; and that he did not even bother to attend her funeral in 1809, all suggest that being his "mother's darling" (Griggs 1. Young Sam had tried to murder his brother on no discernable rational grounds. Can it be a mere conincidence that, like Frank playing dead and springing back to life, the mariners should drop dead as a result of the mariner's shooting of the albatross, only to be resurrected like surly zombies in order to sail the ship and, at last, give way to a "seraph-band" (496), each waving his flaming arm aloft like one of the tongues of flame alighting on the heads of the apostles at Pentacost?
