CONCLUSION 305 APPENDIX AND ADDITIONAL NOTES 313 INDEX 327 BIOGRAPHIA EPISTOLARIS CHAPTER XI MALTA AND ITALY COLERIDGE set sail from Portsmouth in the Speed- s well on gth or loth April 1804. He wrote to J.Tobin . on the loth Anima Poetae, p. 68 LETTER 130. To J. TOBIN April 10, 1804. Men who habitually enjoy robust health have, too generally, the trick, and a very cruel one it is, of imagining that they discover the secret of all their ill acquaintances health in some malpractice or other and, sometimes, by gravely asserting this, here, there, and everywhere as who likes his penetration hid under a bushel, they not only do all they can, without intending it, to deprive the poor sufferer of that sympathy which is always a comfort and, in some degree, a support to human nature, but, likewise, too often implant serious alarm and uneasiness in the minds of the persons relatives and his nearest and dearest connections.

Our friends reputation should be a religion to us, and when it is lightly sacrificed to what self-adulation calls a love of telling the truth in reality a lust of talking something seasoned with the cayenne and capsicum of personality, depend upon it, something in the heart is warped or warping, more or less according to the greater or lesser power of the counteracting causes. I confess to you, that being exceedingly low and heart-fallen, I should have almost sunk under the operation of reproof and admonition the whole too, in my conviction, grounded on utter mis- take at the moment I was quitting, perhaps for ever my dear country and all that makes it so dear but the high esteem which I cherish towards you, and my sense of your integrity and the reality of your attachment and concern blows upon me refreshingly as the sea-breeze on the tropic islander...
