Nature in Romantic Poetry Wordsworth poetry derives its strength from the passion with which he views nature. Wordsworth has grown tired of the world mankind has created‚ and turns to nature for contentment. In his poems‚ Wordsworth associates freedom of emotions with natural things. Each aspect of nature holds a different meaning for Wordsworth. "The beauty of morning; silent‚ bare"‚ excerpt from "Composed on Westminster Bridge. A main source of interest for Wordsworth is the absence of an unnatural

Wordsworth’s poem “Lines Composed a Few Miles above Tintern Abbey” seems to be based from memories and the cycles of life through nature. Memory seems to be very important to Wordsworth‚ almost like it enlightens the mind. When the poem starts‚ Wordsworth lays the foundation of Tintern Abbey from his visit five years in the past. We see this in lines 1-22 as he describes his memories of the abbey. The steep cliffs‚ the cottage-ground‚ the orchard-tuffs‚ the hedge-rows‚ pastoral farms‚ etc. He is

I want to look at the poem in some detail‚ for despite its apparent plainness I believe it to be a work in which Wordsworth meditates with considerable subtlety on the status of the creative act‚ and its importance as a 92 GEOFFREY J.
