March 25, 1796, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, The Watchman Hence the soft couch, and many-colour'd robe, The timbrel and arch'd dome and costly feast, With all th' inventive arts that nurse the soul To forms of beauty; and by sensual wants Unsensualize the mind, which in the Means Learns to forget the grossness of the End, Best pleasur'd with its own activity.
