How do you think Coleridge's troubles might have strengthened his imagination?

Samuel Taylor Coleridge made a prolific amount of essence of literature based on his ideal and romantic ideas because of his evanescent lifetime. Everything of his thoughts should be on a positive side. On the other hand, since his friendship with Williams Wordsworth ended later in his life, a complicated mood has occurred. Therefore, his work could become more on the dark side, like getting supernatural scenes involved, in order to express his indignation. An example of it is The Rime of the Ancient Mariner.
