This is a marvelous poem as is usual for Coleridge. I don't understand why people give so many classic poems a low rating, . and in general here I find that for me the ratings here often do not reflect the quality of the poems.

Looking at our mirror image while in despair and anguish gives a reflection different from the one we seek to see when we mirrorize ourselves...it may shock us but in the end we accept the mirror doesn't lie... we are it.

The second line of the second stanza should read 'Came through the lines of parted red' A powerful poem of despair and lost love. 'Shade of a shadow in the glass, '

I agree Mary was a fine author and poet. But I do not see what her biography says about this poem. About she seeing Christ's reflection. The poem was a fine one. I reiew poems all day for a poetry site. I've done this before.
