I was recently looking at the blog titled "Coleridge Symbolism and Meanings". The post on common sense really got me thinking, and that is so true. The quote "common sense in a an uncommon degree is what the world calls wisdom" is pretty much saying that if you have common sense, for instance to not j-walk in traffic, then that is just something that comes with maturity. When you are in a situation that's not as popular though and for example instead of just putting savings into one stock and investing in that one stock and only that one, which is a good idea, but investing in more than one stock and watching and using common sense in that aspect. That’s what I think wisdom is. I agree with Wade’s idea about how what Coleridge does is nice because his thoughts and theories are not just meant for the people of high education, but that his ideas are universal to any age and can be summarized to fit into every day experiences. If someone were looking for examples of what this quote means, I think if they skimmed over his post it would definitely give them a GOOD idea. I personally think the entire blog for that matter has some great information and ideas on what Coleridge’s beliefs and philosophies were based on. The quote “advice is like snow, the softer it falls the longer it dwells upon, and the deeper it sinks into the mind”, I think it means that if advice is given subliminally or given lightly and not drilled in as a “rule”, then it will tend take more effect being something just said that is wise. The visual part of this blog is also very inviting, I enjoy Coleridge’s artwork. You can see in his artwork what his beliefs are summarizing just by how they are put together. I think Coleridge has a main belief in the deeper meaning of things and that if you think about things more than once that you will finally get to that good conclusion with time. I enjoy Coleridge’s work and I find it quite intriguing, and I feel that this blog definitely sums him up in a box very well.
