Meanwhile, throughout February and March, there was a complete absence of letters from England, since the Elbe remained frozen and very little domestic mail reached Hamburg.50 Coleridge was increasingly anxious about Sara and the children, and wrote tender letters in March to Stowey, even though he knew they would remain at Cuxhaven until the spring thaw.

Why need I say, how anxious this long Interval of Silence has made me? I have thought & thought of you, and pictured you & the little ones so often & so often, that my Imagination is tired, down, flat and powerless; and I languish after Home for hours together, in vacancy; my feelings almost wholly unqualified by Thoughts…I am deeply convinced that if I were to remain a few years among objects for whom I had no affection, I should wholly lose the powers of Intellect – Love is the vital air of my Genius, & I have not seen one human Being in Germany, whom I can conceive it possible for me to love – no, not one.51
