Coleridge's poems give abundant knowledge about English literature and language to readers and literature enthusiasts. He used literary devices like no other poet in his works.

Explanation:

Literary devices and poetic devices are very closely similar to each other. Poetic devices are used to increase and imbibe a rhythm in poem. These are used to intensify the affect of the entire poem/line when a reader is trying to understand the meaning.

Literary devices are also used to intensify the structure of the work but can be used as a special part in the entire work - a story/a poem/a play.

Examples of poetic devices from S. T. Coleridge's poems are:

alliteration - From his famous works, Kubla Khan - cedarn cover, mingled measure, sunny spots. repetition - From his most loved works, Rime of the Ancient Worker - 'Day after day Day after day', 'painted ship painted ocean'. simile - From the Rime of the Ancient Mariner, 'Like one that hath been seven days'. personification - In the poem, he describes sun as 'out of the sea, and hiding in the mist, glimmered the white Moon-shine.' antithesis - The line where he says, 'The Frost at Midnight', the symbolic importance of the yew tree is in complete antithesis to this statement in the poem.
