Coleridge vs Martineau

Lyrics

Coleridge once said to
Harriet Martineau
‘You seem to regard society
As a congeries
Of individualities’
To which she replied
‘Of course I do:
Happiness equals
Freedom equals
Personality.’
A non-meeting of minds
Is the permanent legacy
That finds
History
In the encounter:
Something’s made Coleridge transfer
To the biologically impeded
But nobody’s superseded
Harriet Martineau
‘Happiness equals
Freedom equals
Personality,’
She has similarly replied
To those on the other other side
