As one of the greatest Romantic poet, Coleridge had contributed to the realm of poetry many remarkable works, of which conversation poems take a part. The author of this paper chooses one typical piece from the conversation poems, Frost at Midnight, the linking of whose stanzas and sentences is lucid and natural while poetry is well blended into the lines as a harmoni-ous unity and thus find out this“graceful and intelligent”coherence deserves deep analysis. The poem is an organic unity sitting on sensational appeals, propelling by rational imaginations, its consistency in both structure and meaning naturally and beautifully achieved via various cleverly-contrived mechanisms, including devices of phonology, syntax and lexicon. Therefore, by repeti-tion, contrast, run-on lines, he plants correlations in different nooks of the poem, whose co-operation not only integrates dis-persed symbols, creating a perfect coherence in the form, but also embodies an over-arching sense of sublimely inclusive unity from a deep-leveled and omnibus perspective.
