Primary Imagination
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.
41
Secondary Imagination
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.
42
Fancy
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’.
