The poem told the part of things was not complete anymore, and they the miserable condition of the house. The author also felt that her life was not complete because she felt some part of her life went away. The deserted house is written in alternating lines of anapestic diameter and iambic trimeter. The rhyme of the poem is abcbdb. It is using repeating word in the beginning (there’s no smoke… / there’s no glass/ there’s no wood). It is used to describe the house (the writer’s feeling) from one side to another serially. The influences upon Coleridge were many and varied. Her interest in the uncanny and the supernatural which was lifelong (she once took part in a séance with Alfred, Lord Tennyson) were reinforced by her knowledge of the works of the German Romantics. Robert Browning, Albert Tennyson, Christina Georgina Rossetti, Elizabeth Barrett Browning either inspired her to write or directly influenced her work. It is strange perhaps, that Coleridge never acknowledges the influence of Christina Rossetti. Their work is similar in many ways, and yet the writers publicly acknowledged by Coleridge are all men. If she claimed any 'fairy godmothers', she did so in silence and in private. She lived in Victorian era (1837-1901), when the industrial revolution was happened. At this time the people of England lived poverty. She However she was life in luxury as noblemen. She didn’t get impact of it directly. If we read the poem we will found that her mindset same as the people commonly at that time. A lot of poet made poetry by comparing people as a thing (house, mansion, star, etc). This poem represents the author feeling deeply. She uses house as her body and draw it deathly. According to us when read it for the first time we thought that this people condition must be very sad, like someone who feel empty. We think, this poem is interesting and has so many different ways or different main set to show the meaning of this poem.
