The friendship between Samuel Taylor Coleridge and WIlliam Wordsmith began in 1797 which was the day they met. They were however aware of each others work before hand and met very briefly in 1795 both acknowledging that the other seemed to have considerable talent. after their meeting in 1797 they spoke often and a year later published their conjoined work of the, "lyrical Ballads". this was however the hieght at which their relationship would grow together. despite their love of imaginiation in poems they had many differences in opinion when it came to their future work. they begun to critice eachother's work and had different views on the use and reason behind poetry however the final blow was when coleridge had been told that Wordsmith called him a burden and a rotten drunk. this was not true and made up by Basil Montagu. in the end Coleridge was more concerned with the supernatural and Wordsmith was concerned with the everyday things. this simple point would tear them apart.
