ON THE PROSPECT OF ESTABLISHING A PANTISOCRACY IN AMERICA, by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: Whilst pale anxiety, corrosive care
Last Line: Content and bliss on transatlantic shore.
First Line: Whilst pale anxiety, corrosive care
Last Line: Content and bliss on transatlantic shore.
Whilst pale Anxiety, corrosive Care,
The tear of Woe, the gloom of sad Despair,
And deepen'd Anguish generous bosoms rend --
Whilst patriot souls their country's fate lament;
Whilst mad with rage demoniac, foul intent,
Embattled legions Despots vainly send
To arrest the immortal mind's expanding ray
Of everlasting Truth -- I other climes
Where dawns, with hope serene, a brighter day
Than e'er saw Albion in her happiest times,
With mental eye exulting now explore,
And soon with kindred minds shall haste to enjoy
(Free from the ills which here our peace destroy)
Content and Bliss on Transatlantic shore.
