Frost at Midnight by (Summary) : Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Coleridge spends a night alone contemplating the profound quiet of midnight while his young son sleeps nearby. He thinks about the hidden activities that must be occurring in nature and society at this hour. Recalling memories as a child wishing for companionship, Coleridge believes his son will have a closer connection to nature, unlike his own experience in London. He hopes his son will find joy in God through nature in all seasons.

Frost at Midnight by Samuel Taylor Coleridge

(Summary)

Frost begins to crawl throughout midnight as the poem commences. Coleridge, who writes out of
his own perspective and speaks for himself, spends the night alone, holding a pajama event for
one. Everyone in Coleridge's house is actually asleep, even his young boy, who is sleeping in a
baby seat adjacent to where Coleridge is meditating. He ponders the night’s episode profound
quiet, silence, and darkness, which becomes unsettling. He likes to imagine the hidden activities
that must take place in natural settings and in the society.
Stranger is a process in which a layer of ashes buzzes across the furnace spit? Coleridge believes
it is related to him because he is the just one awakened in the apartment and his fluttered
emotions and ideas are comparable to this flapping stranger. It recalls him of how the Soul
(either that the natural spirit or the Holy Spirit, or both) explores the universe of thinking for an
imitation of it.
He recalls fantasizing, wondering and staring at a stranger walking on the schoolroom's chimney
as a child, wishing that certain genuine stranger (really, one of his favorite family or friends or
someone else familiar to him) would appear and make matters more cheerful and far not
monotonous. The sound of church bells constantly helped him think this strongly.
Gradually, Coleridge begins to consider his infant son. He believes that the kid (named Hartley
Coleridge) will grow and mature in harmony with nature, contrary Coleridge, who attended a
London school. This will be advantageous because Coleridge believed in God interacts
personally with humans by nature. It was a kind of everlasting language that informs humans of
the being of the creator.
The poem concludes with Coleridge forecasting that his son will be able to examine joy and
love no issue what month it is by perceiving God at all seasons of the year—including winter,
when the frost says sorry chunks of ice that mirror sunlight people to the moon.

THE END
