Cologne Comments

Town of monks! ! ! but full with bones, odors......................! River stream of purity in stagnation! No washing personnel! as divine power Nymph also not to help......! but, monks were there.......for what? ? ?

Portrayal of a town on the banks of Rhine with it's polluted dirty township. A well deserved classic poem of the day.

The river Rhine, it is well known, Doth wash your city of Cologne; But tell me, Nymphs, what power divine Shall henceforth wash the river Rhine? .......a captivating question to river. Beautiful poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge is well executed.

A poem and poet way ahead of their respected satirical times.

The city of Köln is still there and the Rhine is somewhat cleaner than it was in those days. However it was very much dirtier for a long time.

Rags and tags! Musing along with your life. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
