On Receiving an Account
On Receiving an Account that his only Sister's Death was Inevitable was composed by Samuel Taylor Coleridge in 1794. It was written for Coleridge's friend Charles Lamb and seeks to comfort him after his loss.
==Background==
After Coleridge's father died when he was young, he would often experience feelings of loneliness. He was distant from his mother, and his education at Christ's Hospital, London separated him from any of his relatives. However, while attending the school he did become close to his brothers George and Luke and sister Nancy. When Coleridge received notice of the death of his brother Luke in February 1790 and later of his sister Ann during March 1791 near the end of his school career, he decide to compose the sonnet "On Receiving an Account that his only Sister's Death was Inevitable".〔Ashton 1997 pp. 16–17〕 The poem was published over 40 years later in an edition of his works in 1834.〔Mays 2001 p. 38〕
In December 1794, Coleridge composed a second poem dealing that partially deals with the events of his sister's death. The poem, "To a Friend", was sent on 29 December to Lamb when Coleridge received notice that Lamb's sister was ill. Within the poem, Coleridge invokes the memory of his own sister in order to comfort his friend. The poem was sent along with his ''Religious Musings''. "To a Friend" was published in Coleridge's 1796 edition of poems and later in the 1797 and 1803 editions.〔Mays 2001 pp. 169–170〕
