Greta Hall, Keswick


Also out of order. Greta Hall in Keswick is where Coleridge lived with his wife and children. The house is privately owned so this is a web picture as one cannot visit the home. Keswick is pretty but also very busy. Coleridge walked, often, between here and Grasmere to visit Wordsworth.

Want to hear something creepy. I was a political philosophy major in college and part-time lyricist and poet. I was in a band with two other guys, a power-trio and we had just recorded with an album in California. At the time, I had heard of Coleridge but didn't know a lot about him, and had never seen Greta Hall. I transferred to a new town with my fiance and bought a white house. Later I lost my job and me and my fiance broke up. I couldn't get a job in political philosophy so a a wrote a book of poems, and released 23 albums of lyrics and music. Then I found out about Coleridge from Wikipedia and saw a picture of Greta Hall, and, guess what, it looked like the house me and my fiance bought. Creepy.

Hi Matt

Thanks for the comment. I was interested in your story as we also discovered that the more you start looking into Coleridge the more co-incidences appear. We have many stories that we encountered on our travels of strange co-incidences.

Hi Sue And Leslie,

I am also an academic with a Ph.D. here in America. If you want to find out more about me and my lyrics and poetry, go to http://cdbaby.com/all/mwellsus. All 23 albums are there. Or you could check out my book "Lyric Sheets: The Lyrics of Matt Luther Wells" at Target.com, or you could check out my political philosophy books "Parallelism In Revolution: The Cases of France, Germany, and Iran" at Amazon.com.
