Truths … are too often considered as so true, that they lose all the power of truth, and lie bed-ridden in the dormitory of the soul, side by side with the most despised and exploded errors.

More from Samuel Taylor Coleridge
And what if all of animated nature Be but organic harps diversly fram'd, That tremble into thought, as o'er them sweeps Plastic and vast, one intellectual breeze, At once the Soul of each, and God of All?
A damsel with a dulcimer In a vision once I saw
And this reft house is that the which he built, Lamented Jack!
Joy rises in me, like a summer's morn.
O! I do love thee, meek Simplicity!
Ere sin could blight or sorrow fade, Death came with friendly care; The opening bud to heaven conveyed, And bade it blossom there.
