Excerpt from Coleridge's Literary Criticism: With an Introduction We may still drink, and which we shall not find in other vessels. But when he rose from them, it was with eyes that did not readily adjust themselves to the upper air, and that is why he so often reminds one of an owl in the daylight. The circling ¿ight, the poise and swoop of the critic were not his. When he went beyond himself he was unsure, he was almost unobservant. His sister Dorothy observed for him: She gave me eyes, ' he says, and it is no mere form of words, but, like all that he says of her, the exact truth. The sensitiveness and receptive ness which, through the wonderful sympathy that existed between them, she was able to project into him from herself, is perhaps a feminine quality, or at least implies in a man a texture of senses and mind too fine to resist the impact of life.
