Address to Certain Goldfishes
'Address to Certain Goldfishes' Summary
In "Address to Certain Goldfishes," Coleridge captures the childlike wonder of observing these creatures, their "glittering scales" and "fringed fins," and their "silent, graceful, gliding motion." He also muses on the goldfish's place in the natural world, their relationship to humans, and the larger questions of existence that they inspire.Book Details
