William Wordsworth’s works are as solid as they are daring, and there are many. Through his unique perception of Nature, creation, and his relationship to these ideas, Wordsworth carries the poetic implications of Romantic Nature above and beyond other poets of his kind; He goes on to criticize the dogmas of the Christian faith in a subtle way, and asserts that his nature and mind are only responsible for all that he sees, as far as he ever could, of the sublime, omnipotent deity. For Wordsworth, man, the eye, the ear and the mind are all-powerful, and the great green world of nature that surrounds us “what half they create and what they feel” (ll. 106).
Nowhere is this ideology more readily observed than in one of Wordsworth’s most popular and acclaimed poems, “Tintern Abbey.” The course of this poem mirrors the course of Wordsworth’s life; by way of deliberation he beckons the reader that during the past days of his youth “when like a goat” he was surrounded by the mountains and the pastoral field, he does not need personal introspection about what surrounded him. In Wordsworth’s own words, Nature loved, “needing no more distant charm, supplied by thought, nor any interest from the eye” (ll. 82-83).
As “Tintern Abbey” progresses, however, Wordsworth shows the reader the development of his own understanding and understanding of Nature in method. /a> that precedes that of his “Prelude.” Wordsworth describes how, in the course of years, he considers a familiar field, his childhood love, in a more mature and intellectual light, and stores it in his memory to serve him in his trials. Forced to live in an urban environment for several years, Wordsworth came to despise the squalor, the ugly crowd of the city, “The barren waste, the fever of the world”, He felt that such a human condition deforms human life (ll. 52-53). While you focus less on the misery of the human condition in the cities of the time than on the nature and beauty and freedom of the world outside those cities, Wordsworth appeals, notably in those poems, “Michael,” London, 1802, and “The World is Too Much for Us.” He longed for the open, clean pastoral fields that they were. so often on the subject of poetry, and because of his inability to leave the city, he was forced to return only to memory.
Verbsworth teaches that when he observes nature, not so much in its strength and beauty as a young man, he knows that it has come more and more, and delights in it, when he has been long removed from it. ; this idea parallels the first idea of Verbsworthian the idea of nature as a doctor (as an example in “Expostulation and Saying, and he can gain deep apprehension and understanding by absorbing his doctrine of “suffering wisely” (ll. 24).
“When this wild ecstasy is ripe
Sober in pleasure; when your mind
The house will be a pleasant form for all;
Your memory is like a dwelling
For all sweet sounds and harmonies; oh! then
if loneliness, if fear, if pain, if pain
How healthy is your thinking?
You will remember my soft joy (ll. 138-145).
When Wordsworth’s a beautiful mind becomes “the house of all lovely forms,” he recognizes faith in the mind. the power of the human mind to perceive, comprehend, and impart a sense of the beauty which it finds in nature, and also comfort in this power. This concept is central and defining in the belief in the power of creation through perception.
In the place where Wordsworth addresses his sister, he brings the reader full circle in the development of his own mind and theology. The poem as it begins by reflecting on the day simply took the simple pleasures of youth. secluded by nature, he later shifts his perspective to unfolding the gradual enlightenment that leads to intellectual maturity. The pleasures conferred upon him by this maturity and ability to think deeply and inwardly in Nature and the depths explored, he surprises the reader by reverencing to some extent the youthful pleasures of nature; in his speech to Dorothea, he refers to her and to the reader, that through a younger, inexperienced spirit, he can see the image of himself from five years ago, and that he can still enjoy his ways a little. already through her;
“Because you are with me here on the banks”
The most beautiful stream; dearest friend
Dearest, dearest friend; and I take in your voice
The language of my ancient heart and read
Shooting past pleasures into the lights
About your eyes (ll. 114-119)
Another notable theme, which is more familiar in many of the more famous works of the Word, is the concept of the collective soul, or more specifically, the life found in everyone. It is known that William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge Samuel-Coleridge corresponded quite well in writing, so much so that Duo sometimes in they formed the same lines for each work. Hence it is evident that the two shared many similar ideals, such as those of nature in Coleridge’s “Aeolian Lyre.”
“And what if all the animated nature?
Be organic guitars composed in different ways
That trembles at the thought, as in them
Plastic and immense, intellectual aura;
at the same time the soul of both, and the God of all?
This pantheistic ideal, that everything in Nature, animate or not, contains life and a deeper meaning than can be easily observed, is also evident in Wordsworth’s poem, “Tintern Abbey.” His belief that all nature is imbued with life and consciousness can be found in Wordsworth’s “Turning the Tables,” as well as most other early to medieval poems. The whole idea is Romantic and, not only Wordsworthian, he explored it most fully and effectively throughout his writing career , dropping only his focus towards the end of his life (making many of his compatriots and admirers, notably John Keats, to lament). In spite of his fall into the pantheistic muses of lesser life, Wordsworth remains a point of forerunners in naturalistic Romantic poetry, his prose inspiring generations after him to greater heights of spirit than any other poet of his age and admonishing the human race. waiting for simple beauties to feed the willing mind “wisely” and linger for a while “to see into the life of things.” Read more >> Options >>
