In a reading of ‘The Eolian Harp’ that draws briefly on ‘Frost at Midnight’, this article discusses Coleridge’s quest to do justice to the epiphanic potentialities of visual experience. In response to critical accounts of his metaphysics as imposed heavy-handedly upon reality, I reread Coleridge’s speculative reflections as both heuristic and responsive to something unequivocally real. Across these two poems, Coleridge transcribes his wonderstruck attunement to the visible world as replete with intimations of God. In doing so, the poet seeks a way of speaking about God that neither synonymises him with the world nor places him beyond the realm of phenomenal experience altogether.

“声音中的光，光中的类似声音的力量”：柯勒律治的现象隐形

在对《风神竖琴》的解读中，本文简要借鉴了《午夜霜冻》，讨论了柯勒律治对视觉体验的顿悟潜力的追求。为了回应对他的形而上学强加于现实的批判性描述，我重读了柯勒律治的思辨性反思，将其视为启发式的，并对明确的真实事物做出了反应。在这两首诗中，柯勒律治将他对可见世界的惊奇记录下来，其中充满了对上帝的暗示。在这样做的过程中，诗人寻求一种谈论上帝的方式，既不将他与世界同义，也不将他完全置于现象经验的领域之外。
