'A great Poet must have <br />... the ear of a wild Arab <br />listening in the silent Desert; <br /> <br />the eye of a North American Indian <br />tracing the footsteps of an Enemy <br />upon the leaves that strew the forest; <br /> <br />the Touch of a Blind Man <br />feeling the face <br />of a darling Child. ' <br /> <br /> <br />(set out as verse from Coleridge's prose)<br /><br />Michael Shepherd<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/coleridge-on-poets/
