Post 5

I have to say what stuck out to me most on this weekends readings for honors was the fact that Coleridge was addicted to opium. I am sorry I could not help but notice that. What is worse is I found it easier to understand his writings compared to the other writings we read. I loved the narration preceding the “Kubla Khan” poem. I found it helped add humor while reading his poem which he came up with when he was in a “haze” from opium. All the poetry was smooth and flowed well, so even in the parts where it was hard to understand, it sounded good. No, I am sad to say, there is not much deep thought put into this post. But this is what stuck out to me.
