 ‘Dejection: An Ode’ by Coleridge, the poet further says that he is in a mood of deep sorrow. No beautiful object of Nature can charm him. In the absence of the inner joy in his heart, he does not feel the beauty of Natural objects. This grief and pain have been expressed effectively by these verses. The poet is full of very deep grief, which has so completely overpowered him that he does not feel its pang or pain anymore. The grief is void or empty, that is, it does not arouse the poetic feeling in any way. It is empty darkness in his heart out of which the poet cannot expect to come out. Due to this grief, he is becoming more and more drowsy and inactive. This grief has been described by the poet as ‘stifled, drowsy and impassioned.’ It does not arouse the poet even to weep or to heave sighs. The poet is not stirred or inspired.

Thus, though the poet is very much aggrieved, he is not in a position to give vent to his grief. Having lost his sense of feeling, Coleridge is very much dejected. He looks at the beautiful external objects of Nature. These had once inspired him but they no longer do so now. __________ ____ ____ _____ ___ ___ ____.

Ore laid with black staid wisdoms hue.


 (ii) My love is now awake out of her dreams (s),
 and her fayre eyes like stars that dimmed were
 With darksome cloud, now shew theyr goodly beams
 More bright then Hesperus his head doth rere.


(iii) All human things are subject to decay,
And when Fate summons monarchs must obey.
This Fleckonoe found, who, like Augustus, young
Was called to Empire and had governed long;


 (iv) Damn with faint praise, assent with civil leer,
 And without sneering, teach the rest to sneer;
 Willing to wound, and yet afraid to strike
