Explore "French Revolution" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
No man was more enthusiastic than I was for France and the Revolution: it / had all my wishes, none of my expectations. Before 1793, I clearly saw and / often enough stated in public, the horrid delusion, the vile mockery, of / the whole affair.[1]
When some one said in my brother James's presence[2] that I was a Jacobin, / he very well observed, -- "No! Samuel is no Jacobin; he is a hot-headed / Moravian! " Indeed, I was in the extreme opposite pole.
