- Abstract
The article discusses the poetic theory of Samuel Taylor Coleridge with regard to memory in the context of contemporaneous theories about the physiology of memory and hallucination.

Additional topics include the mechanical nature of memory, the metaphors of imprinting to describe memory, and the relation between imprinted memories and hallucinations.
