The idea
Samuel Taylor Coleridge, poet, critic and philosopher, planned a utopian commune with Robert Southey, collaborated with Wordsworth on Lyrical Ballads, and introduced German philosophy, especially Kant's, to England. The anchor notes his fear of separation and his search for unity.
In practice
Poet, critic, philosopher.
Where people slip
