The Raven academic article
"He hoped that virtue would win over vice, he hoped that love would defeat hatred so that people could devote their strength to the searching for the truth that would lead them to a true recognition of the power of God." This really put it into perspective for me. I didn't read this much into the poet himself and now that I understand his purpose, I appreciate it more. I think people often forget about God or whatever it is that motivates them and think that all the good and bad in their life comes only from themselves. I think everything happens for a reason and we each have a purpose (sorry to get all preachy). Coleridge recognizes this.
