William Wordsworth is an eminent mystic poet of the Romantic Age with an amazingly subtle mind and a deviant capacity for expressing personal beliefs and thoughts. Wordsworth was a true mystic. His mystical experiences are principally revealed in the context of his treatment of nature.

He aimed at attaining something higher and divine and leaving behind a record

Both authors have different ideas and feelings about the constraints imposed on the poet by the sonnet form.

Dorothy Wordsworth The Abolition of Slavery and the Slave Trade From The Abolition of Slavery and the Slave Trade I picked two writings. The two writings that I chose were “The Negro’s Complaint” and “The Sorrows of Yamba”. I chose these two because they seemed interesting. Both writings seem to focus on slaves wanting to be free.

Report to Wordsworth‚ a poem by Boey Kim Cheng‚ is one that speaks of the path of destruction through nature that man is leaving behind him. I personally find the poem powerful and extremely convincing‚ in the sense that it manages to challenge the reader very objectively. ‘You should be here‚ Nature has need of you’ involves the reader directly‚ and the use of a Capital letter personifies nature in such a way it makes one feel her pain. The following lines are significantly symbolic‚ as the words

To eat or not to eat the cookies - that is the question. William Blake is one of the most popular English romantic artists. He was a painter‚ a sculptor and a poet.

choose it from the poetry of Wordsworth. In my simple reading here I hope to present a comprehensive appreciation to this glorious piece of harmony with nature. I chose such poem because I think that it stands for a craftsmanship of a poet when he delineates perfectly his experience in a very well-created versicular language. The peace of mind and the sense of tranquility which man always seeks in life reside in the identification with nature‚ the picture which Wordsworth introspectively presented

In the following excerpt written by William James‚ religion plays a big role in what he is trying to portray. We are all lead by our own believes and it plays a big role into who we are‚ and will become. James states‚ “but of each man to stay in his own experience‚ whate’er it be‚ and for others to tolerate there‚ is surely best”‚ for this to be true everyone must first have faith in their believes. If the nature of men is to be guided by their own set believes or religion‚ James believes that it
