Lyrics
Coleridge once said to Harriet Martineau ‘You seem to regard society As a congeries Of individualities’ To which she replied ‘Of course I do: Happiness equals Freedom equals Personality.’ A non-meeting of minds Is the permanent legacy That finds History In the encounter: Something’s made Coleridge transfer To the biologically impeded But nobody’s superseded Harriet Martineau ‘Happiness equals Freedom equals Personality,’ She has similarly replied To those on the other other side
