Evidence: | 'there is one Story if story it may be called, that Shape or Limb, Beginning or End has none, "The ancient Mariner or poets Reverie" written by a friend [of Wordsworth] (Mr Lambe?) & the Reason for my pointing it out to your notice if perchance you have not dwelt on its Singularities, is this that it does not describe Madness by its effects but by Imitation, as if a painter to give a picture of Lunacy should make his Canvas crazy, & fill it with wild unconnected Limbs & Distortions of features, & yet one or two of the Limbs are pretty' |
