PHANTOM by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE

Poet Analysis

First Line: ALL LOOK AND LIKENESS CAUGHT FROM EARTH
Last Line: SHONE THROUGH HER BODY VISIBLY.
Subject(s): GHOSTS; LOVE; SUPERNATURAL;
All look and likeness caught from earth,
All accident of kin and birth,
Had passed away. There was no trace
Of aught on that illumined face,
Upraised beneath the rifted stone
But of one spirit all her own --
She, she herself, and only she,
Shone through her body visibly.
