Dejection: An Ode
''Dejection: An Ode'' is a poem written by Samuel Taylor Coleridge in 1802. The poem in its original form was written to Sara Hutchinson, a woman who was not his wife, and discusses his feelings of love for her. The various versions of the poem describe Coleridge's inability to write poetry and living in a state of paralysis, but published editions remove his personal feelings and mention of Hutchinson.
==Background==
Coleridge wrote in his notebook about Hutchinson and possible poems:〔Ashton 1997 p. 201〕 "Can see nothing extraordinary in her — a Poem nothing all the virtues of the mild & retired kind () Poem on this night on Helvellin /William & Dorothy & Mary / —Sara & I — () Poem on the length of our acquaintance / all the hours that I have been thinking of her &c."〔Ashton 1997 qtd. p. 201〕 During this time in 1802, Coleridge was separated from his family and he eventually returned home during March. The relationship between him and his wife was restarted and they had a daughter in December 1802. However, of the poems he intended to write about Hutchinson, he managed to complete one and an early draft was sent to her in a letter on 4 April 1802.〔Ashton 1997 pp. 201–202〕
The original draft was titled "Letter to Sara Hutchinson", and it became ''Dejection'' when he sought to publish it. There are many differences between the versions beyond the original being 340 lines and the printed 139 lines as they reflect two different moments in Coleridge's emotional struggle. Also, passages describing his childhood and other personal matters were removed between versions.〔Holmes 1989 pp. 309, 318–319〕 It was published in the 4 October 1802 ''Morning Post'' (see 1802 in poetry). This date corresponding to Wordsworth's wedding to Mary Hutchinson and Coleridge's own wedding anniversary.〔Ashton 1997 p. 202〕 The poem was grouped with the Asra poems, a series of poems discussing love that were dedicated to Hutchinson. Eventually, Coleridge cut himself off from Hutchinson and renounced his feelings for her, which ended the problems that resulted in the poem.〔Holmes 1989 pp. 314, 250, 323〕
