- 6. Coleridge ,reports that, “EVERY MAN’S LANGUAGE”, Varies according to the extent of his knowledge , the activity of his faculties and the depth or quickness of his feelings. “EVERY MAN’S LANGUAGE HAS , FIRST ITS INDIVIDUAL PECULIARITIES” Secondly, the properties common to the class to which he belongs , and thirdly , words and phrases of universal use. “NO TWO MEN OF THE SAME CLASS OR OF DIFFERENT CLASSES SPEAK ALIKE, ALTHOUGH BOTH USE WORDS AND PHRASES CPMMON TO THEM ALL , BECAUSE IN THE ONE CASE THEIR NATURES ARE DIFFERENT , AND IN THE OTHER THEIR CLASSES ARE DIFFERENT.” Applies as much to the language of rustic to that of townsmen in both cases. The language varies from PERSON TO PERSON, CLASS TO CLASS, AND PLACE TO PLACE.
- 7. First communicationwith an object implies reflection on it , and the richness of vocabulary arises from such reflection , now the rural condition of life do not require any reflection , hence the vocabulary of the rustics is poor. They can express only the barest facts of nature , and not the ideas and thoughts – universal laws – which result from reflection on such facts. Secondly , the best part of man’s language does not result merely from communication with nature , but from education , from the mind’s dwelling on noble thoughts and ideals of the master minds o humanity . Whatever noble and poetic phrases , words and arrangement of words , the rustics use , are derived not from nature , but from repeated listening to The Bible and to the sermons of noble and inspired preachers.
- 8. TWO TYPES OF POETRY…. NATURAL POETRY SUPERNATUR AL POETRY Y “Supernaturalevents are mixed with natural elements. Poem is called masterpiece because of the combination of both. A wide world of Supernatural ism has been painted but it always takes Nature with it. Every detail given by the poet is realistic and sensible”.
- 9. FINAL DEFINATION… “A POEMIS THAT SPECIES OF COMPOSITION WHICH IS OPPOSED TO WORK OF SCIENCE BY PROPOSING FOR ITS IMMEDIATE OBJECT PLEASURE NOT TRUTH, AND FROM ALL OTHER SPECIES. IT IS DISCRIMINATED BY PROPOSING TO IT SELF SUCH DELIGHT FROM THE WHOLE, AS IS COMPATIBLE WITH A DISTINCT GRATIFICATION FROM EACH COMPONENT PART.”
- 10. THEREFORE “ A POEMOF ANY LENGTH NEITHER CAN BE NOR OUGHT TO BE, ALL POETRY SIZE DOES NOT DECIED THEQUALITY. IT DOESN’T DETERMINE PROSE OR POEM TOO” IN THE LONG POEM ALL THE PARTS CANNOT BE EQUALLY GRATIFYING.
- 11. To conclude ,in his own words, He endeavored ‘to establish the principle of writing rather than to furnish rules about how to pass judgment on, what had been written by others.’ Thus, coleridge is the first English critic who based his literary criticism on philosophical principle. Coleridge busied himself with the basic question of, “ how it came to be there at all .” he was more interested in creative process that made it , what it was , then in the finished product. CONCLUSION :
