Analysis of The Netherlands (fragment)
Samuel Taylor Coleridge 1772 (Ottery St Mary) – 1834 (Highgate)
Water and windmills, greenness, Islets green;--
Willows whose Trunks beside the shadows stood
Of their own higher half, and willowy swamp:--
Farmhouses that at anchor seem'd--in the inland sky
The fog-transfixing Spires--
Water, wide water, greenness and green banks,
And water seen--
