Description of the River Alph

  1. Origin:

    • The river bursts from a chasm in a dramatic, violent eruption, as if the Earth itself is alive.

    • Symbolizes the primal, raw force of inspiration.

  2. Journey:

    • Flows for "five miles meandering with a mazy motion."

    • Captures the serene, winding, and unpredictable nature of the creative process.

  3. Conclusion:

    • Alph reaches "caverns measureless to man" and sinks "in tumult to a lifeless ocean."

    • Suggests that creativity and inspiration are vast, powerful, and ultimately absorbed by the unconscious, reflecting the dream-like and fragmentary nature of the poem.

This layout clearly links the river’s physical course to symbolic meaning in Coleridge’s imagination and poetic process.
