Yeah, I have. It's not that I want you to tell me why it's good, it's just
that I need some direction in my reading of the minor poems, because I
haven't got time to read them all. I'd like to hit on the ones which are
particularly good (although obviously that's subjective) because a. that
would be fun for me and b. it will make it easier to write an assignment
which is supposed to convince other people to read Coleridge. I really know
nothing about him at all, so I'm floundering a bit in deciding what to read.
Obviously I've read Rime, Kubla Khan and Christabel.

Oh dear, now you must think I was trying to get you to just explain it all
for me. :-( I would never do that. The whole reason I love studying English
is that I get to explore new (to me) writers. I hate people who just want to
be told the answers, it totally misses the point.

Love, Lucy-Ruth
