The body,
Eternal Shadow of the finite Soul,
The Soul’s self-symbol, its image of itself.
Its own yet not itself.
I am busy working to bring Samuel Taylor Coleridge's "The Body" to life through some unique musical arrangements and will have a full analysis of the poem here for you later.
In the meantime, I invite you to explore the poem's themes, structure, and meaning. You can also check out the gallery for other musical arrangements or learn more about Samuel Taylor Coleridge's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "The Body" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
