Really cool blog - really cool English teacher!

Even though the Mystery Avenger might disagree...

So, in searching for some help for you guys for Coleridge, I came across this site. I've had a small look around - seems to be an older teacher, prolific writer, and a good thinker. This feature article on Journeys is a nice piece of writing - it might not be on Coleridge, but the style, language etc. is good. Learn from it!
Have a look around at the rest of the site too - he knows what he's talking about, and he does it well.

Literary Terms

Just found a cool list of literary terms on the 'net, thought I'd share it.

My question to you? Can you find any examples of Synesthesia in Coleridge's poems?
