Fair enough. But tell me more about this last sentence. Who claims
Coleridge and Blake have anything in common, and how do they justify it?
Christabel doesn't stand up to the Little Lost Girl, and the comparison
heads downhill from there. Is the connection Xanadu/mysticism-opium/Jim
Morrison/the Doors/quote from the Marriage of Heaven and Hell, or is it
less plausible than that?
