So the thing is folk rarely write in the idiom of "early Romantic English poetry"; they most often make up an idiom that has never existed based on what they can currently grasp of how that English and verse works, and what such folk who have recently started writing poetry do is make many characteristic beginner mistakes that those learning writing in rhyme and meter make but with an additional fake English idiom on top. It is not like I am calling poets from that era unskillful because their grammar is more fluid and allows more possibilities for and end-rhyme: there is simply more to it.

Having said that though, the style of "early Romantic English poetry" does loves its abstractions:
No more my Visionary Soul shall dwell
On Joys that were! No more endure to weigh
The Shame and Anguish of the evil Day,
Wisely forgetful! O'er the Ocean swell
Sublime of Hope I seek the cottag'd Dell,
Where Virtue calm with careless step may stray,
And dancing to the moonlight Roundelay
The Wizard Passions weave an holy Spell.
Eyes that have ach'd with Sorrow! Ye shall weep
Tears of doubt-mingled Joy, like theirs who start
From Precipices of distemper'd Sleep,
On which the fierce-eyed Fiends their Revels keep,
And see the rising Sun, & feel it dart
New Rays of Pleasance trembling to the Heart.
Yeah, but Coleridge is still writing English though! He speaks the language of "early Romantic English poetry" not that of 20th century political manifestos. There is no reason why one cannot write a response in the language of
20th century political manifestos, it is just that you have not made it work.
I am trying to be polite, but the stanza I was referring to sounds like garbled English, and it does not matter if I can parse its general rhymned statements of how the N perceives life and society. But even with your explanation "Imprinting all our life with vanity/And chains of sanguine sanity" is pretty darn meaningless. and does not connect the way you think it does.
There is no need to put pressure on yourself to prove to a bunch of strangers that you can "really write", since each poem is viewed on a case by case basis.
