Wordsworth married his cousin Mary Hutchinson (1770-1859) in 1802. Mary's sister Sarah lived with William and Mary at Dove Cottage for significant periods between 1806 and 1808, and remained a frequent visitor. Coleridge, of course, fell madly in love with Sarah while on a visit to the Lake District in 1799. This love was unrequited, with Coleridge dedicating "Dejection: An Ode" to her in 1802, and learning from her later (in 1810) that she had never loved him. It was in the same year that his breach with Wordsworth occurred.
