Samuel Coleridge
Coleridge (b.1772 - d.1834) was the most productive and influential of the Romantic poets. He wrote his best works during the time of his friendship with Wordsworth. His poem Kubla Kahn composed in 1797 was inspired by an opium induced dream. which stimulated Coleridge's imagination. Unfortunately, Opium became Coleridge's fixation for a period and almost destroyed his friendship with Wordsworth, as it did his marriage and health. John Keats

John Keats
Both Keats and Shelley died tragically at an early age. Keats (b.1795 - d.1821) resigned his position as a surgeon after finding it impossible to perform operations on people who were cognizant of their pain. At the age of 23 he contracted pulmonary tuberculosis. He moved to Italy, hoping the warmer weather might improve his health.
