Abstract
Through a close reading of a fragment written probably around 1818, I intend to show in this paper how the discovery of the origin of prose was a landmark in Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s theoretical development regarding the distinction between verse and prose. This discovery was founded in his studies on the Presocratics and fitted his aesthetic theory rooted in Plotinus’s writings. I try to make evident, then, that a stylistic discussion acquired a philosophical and, even, theological scope in Coleridge’s thought.
