Wordsworth's Decline in Poetic Power: Prophet Into High Priest: a StudyExposition Press, 1963 - 384 страници In spite of his knowing and writing about his loss of intuitive communion with nature, Wordsworth does not seem to have realized his loss in poetic power. As we shall see, his changing theory of poetry put greater and greater emphasis on study and hard thought, and on various other innocuous stimulants such as travel, and on technical skill. It is clear that, all his life, he felt that he had been given abundant recompense for the lost of his mystic insight, which is the sense of oneness in the universe, which is the quietness of the power of harmony and the deep power of joy, which is the mounting of elevated passion into a trancelike state. Yet he repeatedly lamented the loss of his transcending gift. - Introduction. |
