This is S.T Coleridge who was a teacher, journalist, literary, philosopher and critic, born October 21, 1772, in Britain at the Ottery Center in Devonshire. His father Reverend John Coleridge was a local school teacher. As well as teaching, his father also served as a priest in a church. Coleridge was admitted to his father's school at the age of nine after studying at Dame School for three years. In the meantime, his father died in 1781. The orphaned child faces a great financial crisis. To avoid the cost of education, he has to be admitted to the Charity School of Christ Hospital, London. Also, check the condition of this school. There was no food in the chest of the cheers. It is eight years of childhood to live with this hungry and bare. But the intensity of the lack could not dampen the talent of his talent, he could not resist the intensity of his imagination. Rather, this poverty has made him eager to establish life.

Since childhood, he has been travelling in the world of fiction. Once on the road, he conceived himself as a famous hero like Achilles, Hector. Imagine what you just imagined! As soon as poems the hero started, he started throwing his arms around him. He read a gentleman's face. That person cried out like a thief and thief. "I am a child poet." At the age of his wish, an intention to become an atheist was awakened. But he became a believer again in the teacher's way. At the age of 18, he was admitted to Cambridge University.

They used to discuss poetry in the afternoon while sitting here. Eventually, in 1798, the collective action of two of the famous "Lyrical Ballads" was published. There were four poems in  Coleridge and nineteenth poems of Wordsworth get the place in Lyrical Ballads. The famous poem of Coleridge is printed on The Ancient Mariner in Lyrical Ballads.
