| 释义 | Coleridgian (once / 562825 pages) adj The adjective Coleridgian is perfect for describing a poem that reminds you of British poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge's writing. Samuel Taylor Coleridge was in the Romantic school of poets, and a Coleridgian piece of writing might include ordinary, everyday words used in a very deliberate, careful way to convey profound and moving impressions. Most Coleridgian poems, like the well known "Rime of the Ancient Mariner," were quite long too. A Coleridgian innovation was coining phrases and symbols, like "water, water everywhere, nor any drop to drink" and the use of an albatross as a metaphor for a curse-like burden.
