Q

Primary Imagination

A

It is the faculty by which we perceive the world around us. It is merely the power of receiving impressions of the external through our senses.
-Coleridge describes primary imagination as the “mysterious power” which can extract “hidden ideas and meanings” from objective data.

Q

Secondary Imagination

A

The primary imagination is universal and possessed by all. The secondary imagination makes artistic creation possible. It requires an effort of the will and conscious effort.
-It is ‘ensemplastic’ , and it ‘dissolves, diffuses and dissipates, in order to create.’ The secondary imagination is at the root of all poetic activity.

Fancy

A

fancy, which is common possession of man, is not creative. It is a mechanical process which receives the elementary images which come to it ready made and without altering these
-Coleridge has called fancy the ‘aggregative and associative power’.
