Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Day With Samuel Taylor Coleridge N a beautiful part of beautiful Somerset, where the soft orchard and cottage scenery is dimpled between blue hill s10pes, where meadows and woods and translucent streams compete with each other in charm, - in the lovely region of the Quantock hills, lies the quiet little market-village of Nether Stowey. About sunrise on a May morning of 1790, a young man awoke in a little wayside cottage there: and, resolutely thrusting back his natural inclination to indolence, rose and dressed, and set himself to the performance of such humble duties as devolve upon a very poor householder with a wife and child. Samuel Taylor Coleridge was in his twenty sixth year: pale, stoutish, black-haired: not an immediately attractive man. His face, accord ing to himself, bore evidence of great sloth and great, indeed almost idiotic, good nature.
