POET OF ROMANCE
Many of you may have heard of William Wordsworth, especially those who are interested in poetry. If mention is made of English romantic poetry, the name of William Wordsworth will be included among its founders. William has highlighted human life, human emotions, human attachment to nature. He was born on April 17, 1770, in Cumberland.
His father may not have known at that time that in the time to come, this grandson of his will make not only his name but also his name famous all over the world.
Early travel:
William initially began writing poetry while still in school. Later, after completing his college education, he not only realized the nature and nature of hiking in Europe and its beauty, but also made it a part of his poetry. His poetic career began with a trip to France and Switzerland.
During the journey, where he had the opportunity to see the difficulties of human life up close, he also began to form his political opinion. Hatred of oppression is also found in William's words from the beginning. The revolutionary spirit in France also greatly influenced William Wordsworth. He graduated from Cambridge in the first month of January 1791. Spent several months in London.
Interest in politics:
1791 arrived in Wordsworth, France in November, where I attended the National Assembly and the Jacobin Club. The month of December, which is famous for its coldness and love of lovers, in the same month he met Annette, and these meetings turned into love after some time. Annette later gave birth to her baby Caroline. In December 1792, William left France.
Reason for reputation:
Everyone interested in poetry is well aware that whenever romance is mentioned, Wordsworth's name will be included. William influenced English poetry with his ideas of criticism and poetry, and the whole world recognized this criticism and to some extent painted it. He said that man seeks happiness in things where it does not exist. Wordsworth's important book in this regard, if we look at the background of love of nature ... one has to look at what not only reflects his intellectual construction but would also be somewhat correct to call it the spiritual past of Wordsworth. In it, William incorporates memories of his childhood and adolescence into poetry. He was repeatedly persuaded by a schoolteacher to enjoy nature and its beauty, he would run away from school and go into the forest, climb trees, and steal eggs from birds' nests. He would sit on the river and go for a walk. All of this became part of his memory and then came into his poetry.
The flight of birds, their chirping not only survived in his memory, the best example of which cuckoo. He proved himself as a poet and also as a critic. Here are some of William Wordsworth's most famous poems:
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o’er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze …
Wisdom and Spirit of the universe!
Thou Soul that art the eternity of thought!
That gives forms and images a breath
And everlasting motion! Not in vain,
By day or star-light thus from my first dawn
Of Childhood didst Thou intertwine for me
The passions that build up our human Soul,
Not with the mean and vulgar works of Man,
But with high objects, with enduring things,
With life and nature, purifying thus
The elements of feeling and thought,
And sanctifying, by such discipline,
Both pain and fear, until we recognize
A grandeur in the beatings of the heart …
But oft, in lonely rooms, and ‘mid the din
Of towns and cities, I have owed to them,
In hours of weariness, sensations sweet,
Felt in the blood, and felt along with the heart;
And passing even into my purer mind
With tranquil restoration:—feelings too
Of unremembered pleasure: such, perhaps,
As have no slight or trivial influence
On that best portion of a good man’s life,
His little, nameless, unremembered, acts
Of kindness and love …
