  • The Many Conversations of This Lime-Tree Bower
    From The Coleridge Bulletin The Journal of the Friends of Coleridge New Series 26 (NS) Winter 2005 © 2005 Contributor all rights reserved http://www.friendsofcoleridge.com/Coleridge-Bulletin.htm Agreement, Dissonance, Dissent: The Many Conversations of ‘This Lime-Tree Bower’ Felicity James ____________________________________________________________________________________________ N THIS TALK I want to touch on some of the many conversations going Ion inside and around ‘This Lime-Tree Bower’; firstly, the conversations— and the conflicts—between friends which shape the poem. Much has been said about the rich biographical and literary interconnections of this poem, and, in particular, its position in the Wordsworth-Coleridge relationship—the way in which, for example, it subtly re-reads and, in Lucy Newlyn’s words, ‘strategically correct[s]’ Wordsworth’s ‘Lines left upon a seat in a Yew-tree’.1 Lynda Pratt, too, has shown us how the poem ‘embarks on a literal and metaphorical rewriting’ of Southey poems such as the ‘Inscription III: For a Cavern that overlooks the River Avon’, the ‘Botany-Bay Eclogue’ ‘Elinor’, and the ‘Ode. Written on the First of January 1794’.2 Today, though, I want to look again at the poem through the lens of an earlier Coleridgean relationship: with the ‘gentle-hearted’ Charles Lamb. Everyone here will know that famous remonstrance made by Lamb in letters of 1800, just after his reconciliation with Coleridge, when he tells him not to ‘make me ridiculous any more by terming me gentle-hearted in print’3—‘please to blot out gentle hearted, and substitute drunken dog, ragged-head, seld-shaven, odd-ey’d, stuttering, or any other epithet which truly and properly belongs to the Gentleman in question’.4 I want to restore Lamb’s sometimes dissonant voice to this conversation poem, and to suggest that, just as he occupies the central, turning point of the poem itself, so too, in that self-deprecating complaint, Lamb gets right to the heart of some central Coleridgean dilemmas in ‘This Lime Tree Bower’.

    North Somerset Council Local Development Framework Core Strategy Topic paper Culture, leisure and tourism September 2007 Culture, Leisure and Tourism and Topic Paper This is part of a series of topic papers summarising the evidence base for the North Somerset Core Strategy document. Other topic papers available in this series: � Demography, health, social inclusion and deprivation � Housing � Economy � Retail � Settlement function and hierarchy � Resources (including minerals, waste, recycling, energy consumption) � Natural environment (including climate change, biodiversity, green infrastructure, countryside, natural environment and flooding) � Transport and communications � Sustainable construction / design quality including heritage � Summing up / spatial portrait For further information on this topic paper please contact: Planning Policy Team Development and Environment North Somerset Council Somerset House Oxford Street Weston­super­Mare BS23 1TG Tel: 01275 888545 Fax: 01275 888569 localplan@n­somerset.gov.uk 1. Introduction 1.1 The scope of this topic paper is wide ranging covering those aspects of society which enrich our lives. This is everything from the most fundamental of community services and facilities such as the provision of schools and health services to ways of spending our leisure time whether it be as residents of North Somerset or as tourists. With regards to tourism there are obvious overlaps between this and the economic topic paper and the work which is underway on the Area Action Plans for Weston­super­ Mare Town Centre and the Regeneration Area. No attempt has been made to cover every aspect of Culture, Leisure and Tourism. The intention has been to highlight those areas which may have the clearest implications for spatial/land use planning and especially the Core Strategy.

  • Frost at Midnight By: S. T. Coleridge Dr. Faisal A. Hayder Al-Doori
    1 Frost at Midnight By: S. T. Coleridge Dr. Faisal A. Hayder Al-Doori Summary At the beginning of the poem, frost starts moving through the midnight. The poet or the speaker is living upstairs only with his baby sleeping in its cradle. The quietness and silence of the night attract the poet because it seems to be confusing. He thinks that some secrets are going to be formulated and haunted the cottage, nature and town. A "stranger" is the term used in the poem to define "a film of soot flutters on the grate of the fireplace." The speaker feels that he is like this stranger because of loneliness and his thoughts are flickering like this fluttering "stranger."He is thinking of "how the Spirit (either the human spirit or the Holy Spirit or both) searches for an echo of itself in the world of thought.This "stranger" reminds him when he was a pupil, looking at a stranger roaming on the schoolroom's fireplace, dreaming with a visitor to come, may be one of his relatives or friends or the bell of the Church rings to change the boring state of the schoolroom. The poet hopes that his baby son, Hartely Coleridge, will live in harmony with Nature more than his father who spent his primary study in London. The poet believes that God have a connection with human beings through Nature. The language of Nature is eternal and it is an example to prove the creator's existence. The last lines of the poem indicate that the poet predicts that his son will be happy even in winter because of God's presence.

  • The Exmoor Society Quiz No 5 – the Answers 1
    The Exmoor Society Quiz No 5 – The Answers 1. Grabbist Hill, Dunster. Grabbist Hill overlooks the village of Dunster, and is at the head of a ridge that runs west towards Wootton Courtenay and Dunkery. From this ridge, there are wonderful far-reaching views over the Bristol Channel to the north, and the Avill Valley to the south, with extensive footpaths and bridleways along the hill and into the combes. Grabbist is now well populated by trees, so there is little evidence of the "purple-headed mountain", unless this refers to Dunkery Beacon, on whose slopes the River Avill rises. Little remains of the site of the Iron Age hillfort, although the adjacent Giant’s Chair is still visible where our old friend, the Giant of Grabbist, likes to doze in the sun while he enjoying the view of Gallox Hill opposite. The area offers an important range of wildlife habitats, including that of the endangered heath fritillary butterfly. Grabbist is owned by the National Trust. 2. Samuel Taylor Coleridge – the Coleridge Way. Created in April 2005, the Coleridge Way originally ended at Porlock but in May 2014 a 15-mile extension to Lynmouth was launched. The Coleridge Way is now a 51mile/80km footpath in Somerset and Devon; the route links several sites associated with the romantic poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge starting from the National Trust’s Coleridge Cottage at Nether Stowey and finishing in Lynmouth. 34 miles of this, from Nether Stowey to Exford, is bridleway but walkers can continue on from Lynmouth along the South West Coast Path to Lynton, Poets Corner in the Valley of Rocks and beyond.
