Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge: 21 October 1772 - 25 July 1834 coleridge1_2.jpgTom O'Bedlam reminds me that it was Coleridge who coined the phrase "the willing suspension of disbelief." What follows is a 1977 experimental film by Larry Jordan, using animated engravings of Gustave Dore with Orson Welles reading the Coleridge poem. Then there is Tom O'Bedlam reading "Kubla Khan," and a charming video for an English class about the life of Coleridge. I end with a tribute to Welles. He and Coleridge would have enjoyed one another. gravestonelge.jpg
