The friendship of Wordsworth and Coleridge is very famous in the history of English literature, but Coleridge had much inferiority complex to his friend. Women around Wordsworth, Annet Ballon, Dorothy Wordsworth and Mary Hutchinson, were all wise and friendly but Coleridge’s wife, Sara Fricker was an ordinary woman who could not understand her husband’s artistic world. Both of them were suffered for their financial problem in their young time and the first part of “Immortality ode” was written for that. But it was more serious for Coleridge who had to write many prose writings to bring up his family, while Wordsworth happened to inherit from his friend to be able to devote himself to poetic creation. And Coleridge got to love Wordsworth’s sister and sister-in-law but his love could not be realized. At last, he could not but admire Wordsworth for his making great achievement of his literature surrounded with good women. This relationship of two friends is expressed well in two poems, “Immortality Ode” and “Dejection Ode”. Wordsworth fell in sadness because of his lost paradise but he overcame it through his meditation and characteristic philosophy. Coleridge fell in endless desperation not to overcome it. It seems not so good to compare the two poems on their artistic value, but “Immortality Ode” is good in its excellent poetic expression and its meditative idea and “Dejection Ode” also gives deep echo to readers with its personal desperation.
