"Coleridge-Taylor was a Black British composer, conductor and virtuoso violinist who became a hugely respected figure during his short life by integrating European Romantic style with musical traditions associated with his West African heritage."

¡Adios, oh, cantor! Hasta mañana al atardecer,
y para vosotros, amigos míos: ¡adiós, un corto adiós!
Hemos vagado mucho tiempo alegres,
refugiémonos ahora en nuestros amados hogares.
Una vez más, adiós, ¡dulce ruiseñor!
Una vez más, amigos míos, ¡adiós!

I just told someone at work that “this issue has been my albatross” and they said they know what that means because of Taylor Swift and I said I know what that means because The Rime of the Ancient Mariner was the albatross of my grade 11 English class.
RIP Samuel Taylor Coleridge

One of the great joys of my former National Symphony Orchestra subscription was their regular inclusion of great Black composers like Coleridge-Taylor (and George Walker and Carlos Simon). 🎁 link!

I know 'tis but a Dream, yet feel more anguish
Than if 'twere Truth. It has been often so:
Must I die under it? Is no one near?
Will no one hear these stifled groans and wake me?
~"Fragment 2" Samuel Taylor Coleridge
[my drawing of Candace Hilligoss as Mary Henry in <Carnival of Souls>]

I swear to god I got the intended joke once but I was high as shit at the time. It's never come back to me, like Coleridge writing Xanadu off his tits on opium

Si un hombre atravesara
el Paraíso en un sueño
y le dieran una flor como prueba
de que había estado allí
y si al despertar encontrara
esa flor en su mano...
¿entonces, qué?

From his brimstone bed at break of day
A walking the Devil is gone,
To visit his snug little farm the earth,
And see how his stock goes on.

It is the reflex of our earthly frame,
That takes its meaning from the nobler part,
And but translates the language of the heart."

Thou rising Sun! thou blue rejoicing Sky!
Yea! every thing that is and will be free!
Bear witness for me, whereso'er ye be,
With what deep worship I have still adored
The spirit of divinest Liberty.

Coleridge
Betwixt the tufts of snow on the bare branch
Of mossy apple-tree, while the nigh thatch
Smokes in the sun-thaw; whether the eave-drops fall
Heard only in the trances of the blast,
Or if the secret ministry of frost
Shall hang them up in silent icicles,
Quietly shining to the quiet Moon.
Betwixt the tufts of snow on the bare branch

Shall hang them up in silent icicles,
Quietly shining to the quiet Moon.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge, born on this day in 1772, is still alive and kicking (everything but the opium habit) in my novel, Dead Writers in Rehab, where he's making trouble along with Dorothy Parker, Ernest Hemingway, and other deceased literary substance abusers.
