1. I find the following passage
2. in the “Essays” of C. M. Ingleby
3. (Trubner & Co., 1888, p. 266).

4. “Sara Coleridge ventured
5. to suggest to the poet a change

6. in the Washing-Tub couplet. It
7. was a tub that the real boy
8. embarked in, so a tub let it

9. be, only let it not be called a
10. washing-tub; there was really
11. no reason need to associate

12. the utensil with so unpoetical
   1. a subject as the laundry. So
   2. she proposed as a substitute:
   3. “A tub of common form and size,

   4. such as each rustic home supplies.”
   5. “Coleridge’s accomplished
   6. daughter must have been down

   7. in the lowest depths of bathos
   8. when she proposed that ultra
   9. prosaic couplet …… But

   10. Wordsworth’s stomach rose
   11. against Sara Coleridge’s tub: for

   12. the very indefiniteness of the
   1. characterization (“of common
   2. form and size”) was against
   3. one of the poet’s canons; for

   4. the description no more brought
   5. before the mind’s eye the uten-
   6. sil actually employed by

   7. the blind boy, than the size
   8. of an object can be conveyed
   9. by saying that it is “as big

   10. as a lump of chalk”. In the
   11. event the poet wearied, we

   12. dare say, by the adverse
   1. criticism of friends and foes,
   2. sent the refractory tub
   3. to limbo.”

   4.               C.
