Hazlitt on the Romantics
Coleridge:
“He is the only person from whom I ever learnt anything in conversation. He was the only person I ever knew, who answered to my idea of a man of genius.”
Shelley:
“He is clogged by no dull system of realities, no earth-bound feelings, no rooted prejudices, by nothing that belongs to the mighty trunk and hard husk of nature and habit…”
Keats:“He displayed extreme tenderness, beauty, originality and delicacy of fancy; all he wanted was manly strenth and fortitude to reject the temptations of singularity in sentiment and expression. Some of his shorter and later pieces are as free from faults as they are full of beauties.”

that’s actually a decent pic of Coleridge, I’m guessing it’s pre-opium since all the ones I’ve seen have him look bug...
