Coleridge was in an opium induced haze and is convinced that he wrote around 300
lines whilst in this reverie. He began to write them down but was interrupted and could
only remember the fragment that remains today.
He spent time in all the other places listed but saw out the last 18 years of his life in
Highgate and was buried in St Michael's church, under the following epitaph which he
wrote himself: Stop Christian passer-by! Stop child of God! And read with gentle
{breast;} beneath this sod, a poet lies, or that which once seemed he, O lift one thought
in prayer for S.T.C. ! That he who, many a year, with toil of breath, Found death in life,

endearing and extraordinary man read Richard Holmes' brilliant two volume biography.
'Early Visions' deals with the first half of his life (until 1805) and 'Darker Reflections'
documents the rest. An astonishing and utterly compulsive read.
