[83] Coleridge in his _Table Talk_ (14 May, 1833) remarked: "A man may, under certain states of the moral feeling, entertain something deserving the name of love towards a male object--an affection beyond friendship, and wholly aloof from appetite.

In Elizabeth's and James's time it seems to have been almost fashionable to cherish such a feeling.

Certainly the language of the two friends Musidorus and Pyrocles in the _Arcadia_ is such as we could not use except to women." This passage of Coleridge's is interesting as an early English recognition by a distinguished man of genius of what may be termed ideal homosexuality.
