Sara Coleridge’s poem Poppies imagines an addicted mother seeing her son looking at the apparently innocent flower: “He loves their colours fresh and fine, /As fair as fair may be; / But little does my darling know / How good they are to me.”.
While the drug was relied upon by women as an accessible way to cope with “female complaints”, such as menstrual pain, depression and even the quieting of sick children, it was also seen as indulgent if overused by maverick men. Taken from her novel Walsingham (1797), the reprinting conveys a sentimental parallel between the speaker and the author as beautiful but vulnerable flowers ["Where'er I find thee, gentle flow'r,/ Thou still art sweet, and dear to me!/ For I have known the cheerless hour,/ Have seen the sun-beams cold and pale,/ Have felt the chilling, wint'ry gale,/ And WEPT, and SHRUNK LIKE THEE!"

His verse reply to "The Snow Drop" is in fact more a Della Cruscan erotic compliment than eulogy. The thing that most people don’t realize while reading Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s “Kubla Khan” is that he had a writing partner who wrote a response to the poem, “To the Poet Coleridge”. When Coleridge described writing Kubla Khan, before the notorious interruption from “the person from Porlock”, he said he been prescribed an “anodyne”.
