Selected Poetry of William Wordsworth
Selected Poetry of William Wordsworth | William Wordsworth
33 posts | 5 read | 2 to read
Selected Poetry of William Wordsworth represents Wordsworths prolific output, from the poems first published in Lyrical Ballads in 1798 that changed the face of English poetry to the late Yarrow Revisited. Wordsworths poetry is celebrated for its deep feeling, its use of ordinary speech, the love of nature it expresses, and its representation of commonplace things and events. As Matthew Arnold notes, [Wordsworths poetry] is great because of the extraordinary power with which [he] feels the joy offered to us in nature, the joy offered to us in the simple elementary affections and duties. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Because I could not stop at two, but I promise not to advance further to four. Three selections of his work. His genius is before us!

Further evidence, not to convince you, just to stand by the claim that he was gifted to the world.

There are so many words that could be said about this poet and his body of work. Words that have been said by so many others. I don‘t think that I have anything new to contribute suffice to say he is a favorite. He was prolific. He was a master of the art form. His poems can truly be described as beautiful writing. You know how some music is beautiful, but then some music is really beautiful. His poetry is REALLY beautiful!

One of the mountains;
each a mighty voice.'

From “Phantom of Delight”

“She was a Phantom of delight/When first she gleamed upon my sight;/A lovely Apparition, sent/To be a moment's ornament;/Her eyes as stars of Twilight fair;/Like Twilight's, too, her dusky hair;/But all things else about her drawn/From May-time and the cheerful Dawn;/A dancing Shape, an Image gay,/To haunt, to startle, and way-lay.”

I had just been thinking that I‘d like to get back to reading more poetry and with deliberation. I may not participate every month, but I‘ll try to dip in as often as possible. #poetrychallenge

Natasha.C.Barnes That sounds like a great way to do the challenge! Whatever works for you. 😊 7y
