In 1795 he married Miss Fricker, and removed to Nether Stowey, a village in Somersetshire, where he wrote the "Ancient Mariner" and the first part of "Christabel." While here he became a close friend of Wordsworth.
This from Christabel; while Agatha chimed in with an eager "But you are glad, dear, aren't you, to think he is not heart-broken? It makes it easier for you when he doesn't care!" Plainly there was no comfort forthcoming for Miss Lilias from the members of her own family!
In these two yachts all the interest of the occasion centred. The Phantom and the Sea Foam soon came into line; and then it was found that the Christabel had withdrawn, for it blew too hard for her. Mr. Norwood and his son came on board, with Dick Adams, who was to be mate of the Maud, and Kennedy, who was well skilled in sailing a boat.
Byron had seen Christabel in manuscript, and urged Coleridge to publish it. He hated all the "Lakers," but when, on parting from Lady Byron, he wrote his song, Fare thee well, and if forever, Still forever fare thee well, he prefixed to it the noble lines from Coleridge's poem, beginning Alas! they had been friends in youth.

Christabel came back presently with hammer and some brass-headed stays in her hand. "Don't utterly destroy the frame," Littimer said, resignedly.

After two or three rounds of the floor, she flagged a little and without asking any questions, he led her back to their table. Luckily, Christabel and her Iowan had disappeared.
One of the early martyrs, a virgin of noble Roman birth, who died for her religion, was St. Christina. In Denmark the name became a man's name, Christiern. Another English name which is like Christina is Christabel. The great poet Coleridge in the nineteenth century wrote the beginning of a beautiful poem called "Christabel."
Sir Walter having composed the first two or three stanzas of the poem taking for his model the Christabel of Coleridge showed them to two friends, "whose talents might have raised them to the highest station in literature, had they not preferred exerting them in their own profession of the law, in which they attained equal preferment."
"Then drawing in her breath aloud Like one that shuddered, she unbound The cincture from beneath her breast. Her silken robe and inner vest Dropt to her feet, and full in view Behold her bosom and half her side A sight to dream of, not to tell! O shield her! shield sweet Christabel!" And then what do her words mean?
Pitt's has ever been quoted, or formed the favourite phrase of the day a thing unexampled in any man of equal reputation." With the alteration of one word the proper name this passage might have been taken straight from some political diatribe of to-day.
