Certain moments in British Romantic poetry depict a state from which the attributes of existence – time and space, subject and object, language and visuality – have fallen away, leaving a domain prior to the world and to thought, the condition of mere existence. As Collings demonstrates, poems by Wordsworth, Coleridge, Keats, and Clare evoke a condition that transpires in a time without time.
