Samuel Coleridge

Just prior to his death the poet Samuel Coleridge wrote the following to his godson:

"On the eve of my departure, I declare to you, that health is a great blessing; competence, obtained by honourable industry, a great blessing; and a great blessing it is to have kind, faithful, and loving friends and relatives; but that the greatest blessing, as it is the most ennobling of all privileges, is to be, indeed, a Christian."
