To Bowles "To Bowles" was written by Samuel Taylor Coleridge and published in the 26 December 1794 ''Morning Chronicle'' as part of the ''Sonnets on Eminent Characters'' series. William Lisle Bowles's poetry was introduced to Coleridge in 1789 and Bowles had an immediate impact on Coleridge's views of poetry. The sonnet celebrates Bowles's status as a poet. The poem also discusses Bowles's political beliefs, as these views also help shaped Coleridge's ideas on government and politics. ==Background== Bowles had an important part in Coleridge's early poetry; he served as a model Coleridge.〔Mays 2001 p. 161〕 This influence can be traced to when Coleridge was given a copy of Bowles's ''Sonnets, Written Chiefly on Picturesque Spots, During a Tour'' in 1789. Later, Coleridge dedicated a poem to Bowles in order to praise him.〔Ashton 1997 p. 29〕 The poem "To Bowles" was the seventh of his ''Sonnets on Eminent Characters'' series. It was first printed on 26 December 1794 in the ''Morning Chronicle'' and rewritten for Coleridge's 1796 collection of poems. 〔Mays 2001 pp. 161–162〕 As a footnote, Coleridge explained that Bowles was "Author of Sonnets and other Poems, published by Dilly. To Mr. Bowles's Poetry I have always thought the following remark, from Maximus Tyrius, peculiarly applicable () 'I am not now treating of that Poetry, which is estimated by the pleasure it affords to the ear—the ear having been corrupted and the judgment-seat of the perceptions; but of that which proceeds from the intellectual Helicon, that which is ''dignified'', and appertaining to ''human'' feelings, and entering into the soul."—The 13th Sonnet () the 19th () and the 25th () are compositions of, perhaps, unrivalled merit. Yet, while I am selecting these, I almost accuse myself of causeless partiality; for surely never was a Writer so equal in excellence!"〔Mays 2001 qtd pp. 161–162〕 Coleridge's quoting of Maximus Tyrius leaves out part of Maximus's quote that suggests the sentence is describing music.〔Mays 2001 p. 162〕
