Remember the RIME OF THE ANCIENT MARINER or TINTERN ABBEY ?
Remember Coleridge ? Remember Wordsworth ?
Coleridge was a laudanum socialist wacko who coined the term Pantisocracy, meaning power for all.
And this society was to live in the Quaker banks of the Susquehanna. William Penn tantalized the romantics for this peaceful colony who couldn't defend its borders in the French and Indian War.
Coleridge also coined the term "psychosomatic" since his mind and body was a nutcase, although quite a talker who inspired many of the greats of his day.
So...
Coleridge had convinced Wordsworth to join him in creating a book of poetry stating that the failures of democracy and socialism cannot compete with the real solution poets offer: an attitude of thinking.
Thus 1798 Lyrical Ballads, wasn't just the greatest poems English professors inflict on students today, but rather an antidote to the failures of political systems and philosophy.
