The Themes In The Poems Of William Wordsworth

By- Vighnesh Kharge (TYBA-A110)

William Wordsworth born on 7 April 1770, was an English Romantic poet who was an
exceptional poet of the Romantic Age in English literature. The Prelude, a semiautobiographical
poem he reinterpreted and extended a number of times over the course of his life, is generally
considered Wordsworth's magnum opus. He had previously known it as "the poem to Coleridge",
and before he died on 23 April 1850 his wife posthumously titled and published it. Wordsworth
was Poet Laureate from 1843 until his death from pleurisy. Wordsworth usually focused on
themes like nature, memory, power of the human mind, splendour of childhood, mortality,
transcendence and connectivity, morality and religion.
"Approach into the light of things,/Let Nature be your Teacher." No conversation on Wordsworth
would be finished without notice of nature. Nature and its association with mankind show up in
by far most of Wordsworth's verse, regularly holding a sonnet's concentration, and has turned
into the foundation of the Romantic Movement basically as a result of him. Wordsworth is often
left feeling pitiful or helpless. In light of the fact that he savours being in nature, he emphasizes
over the rest of humanity, who live in urban communities totally isolated from it. Wordsworth
considers how they might actually restore their spirits. Eventually, notwithstanding, he regularly
concludes that it isn't right to be tragic while in nature: "A writer couldn't, however, be gay,/In
such jocund organization." Nature likewise gives Wordsworth expect what's to come. From past
experience, Wordsworth realizes that investing energy in nature is a gift to his future self, in light
of the fact that some other time when he is distant from everyone else, he will actually want to
think back on a field of daffodils he once invested time in and be glad.
For Wordsworth, the force of the human brain is critical. In a few of his sonnets he starts in a
negative or discouraging mindset, and afterwards leisurely turns out to be more sure. The main
utilization of memory, nonetheless, is to keep up with associations. For example, in sonnets like
"Line Composed a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey" and "I meandered forlorn as a cloud"
Wordsworth is in nature and he is glad, however, he turns out to be significantly more joyful
when he understands that he never really needs to leave his recollections behind. Whenever he
has gotten back to the day by day misery of the city, he will actually want to recall the time he
spent among nature and satisfy himself once more: "And afterwards my heart with delight fills,
And hits the dance floor with the daffodils."
As Wordsworth considers his own mortality memory is again a gigantic solace since he
understands that even after he has kicked the bucket he will actually want to live on in the
memory of his loved ones, similarly to the people who have passed on before him are in his
memory. Wordsworth is particularly gladdened to realize that his sister Dorothy, with whom he
spent incalculable hours, will recall him affectionately, conveying him with her any place she
goes.
Wordsworth lauded the force of the human psyche. Utilizing memory and a creative mind,
people could defeat trouble and torment. For example, the Speaker in "Lines Composed a Few
Miles Above Tintern Abbey" (1798) diminishes his dejection with recollections of nature, while
the bloodsucker finder in "Goal and Independence" (1807) continues on merrily notwithstanding
neediness by the effort of his own will. The extraordinary forces of the psyche are accessible to
all, paying little mind to a singular's class or foundation. This vote based view accentuates
distinction and uniqueness. All through his work, Wordsworth showed solid help for the
political, strict, and imaginative privileges of the individual, including the force of their psyche.
In the 1802 introduction to Lyrical Ballads, Wordsworth clarified the connection between the
brain and verse. The verse is "feeling recalled in serenity"— that is, the brain changes the crude
feeling of involvement into verse fit for giving delight. Later sonnets, for example, "Tribute:
Intimations of Immortality" (1807), envision nature as the wellspring of the rousing material that
sustains the dynamic, inventive psyche.
In Wordsworth's verse, youth is a supernatural, eminent season of guiltlessness. Kids structure a
serious bond with nature, to such an extent that they give off an impression of being a piece of
the regular world, as opposed to a piece of the human, social world. Their relationship to nature
is enthusiastic and outrageous: youngsters feel bliss at seeing a rainbow however extraordinary
fear at seeing destruction or rot. In 1799, Wordsworth composed a few sonnets about a young
lady named Lucy who kicked the bucket at a youthful age. These sonnets, including "She abided
among the untrodden ways" (1800) and "Bizarre attacks of energy have I known" (1800),
acclaim her excellence and regret her less than ideal demise. In death, Lucy holds the
guiltlessness and magnificence of adolescence, not at all like the youngsters who grow up, lose
their association with nature, and lead unfulfilling lives. The speaker in "Tribute: Intimations of
Immortality" accepts that kids take pleasure in nature since they approach a heavenly, unfading
world.
Through the force of the human brain, especially memory, grown-ups can recall the committed
association with the idea of their childhood. Wordsworth's interest in death as often as possible
appears in his verse. The Lucy Poems, for example, are a progression of sonnets about a little
youngster who might have been an illusion of Wordsworth's creative mind, and who eventually
passes on. Wordsworth checks out the occasion from a few points. In "Three years she
developed" Wordsworth makes whimsical reasoning for her demise: Nature became spellbound
by her and vowed to give her an unimaginable life, yet when every last bit of her guarantees was
satisfied Lucy needed to pass on. In "We Are Seven" Wordsworth takes a gander at a young lady
who had six kin yet presently inhabits home with just her mom since two of her kin have passed
on and the others have moved away. The young lady appears to be not to comprehend demise all
through the sonnet, yet eventually, the peruser discovers that she might have a more clear
comprehension than the speaker. In "Lines Composed a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey"
Wordsworth is consoled by the possibility that he will live on after his demise on the grounds
that his sister Dorothy will recall him affectionately.
Probably Wordsworth's most noteworthy concern is the drop of humankind. As man moves
further and further away from mankind he is by all accounts losing increasingly more of his
spirit. Frequently when Wordsworth is in nature he is disheartened on the grounds that he is
compelled to contemplate individuals caught in urban areas, unfit or reluctant to the community
with nature. In "London, 1802," for example, Wordsworth makes supplication to the writer John
Milton to return and show humankind how to recapture the profound quality and temperance it
once had. Additionally, in "The world is a lot with us" Wordsworth stresses that the world is
excessively loaded with individuals who have lost their association with divine nature, and all
the more significantly, to nature: "Getting and spending we destroy our forces,/Little we find in
Nature that is our own." Wordsworth was absolutely a devotee of the thought sometime before
then, at that point. "Greatness" just signifies "being without limits." For Wordsworth, this implies
having the option to interface with individuals and things outside of oneself, particularly as far as
nature. It was Wordsworth's preeminent goal to allegorically rise above the limits of his body and
interface totally with nature. Humanity's trouble tolerating the magnificence that nature has to
bring to the table disheartened Wordsworth.
In Wordsworth's sonnets, profound quality doesn't really stem straightforwardly from religion,
yet rather from making the right decision without anyone else, by humankind, and essentially. In
"London, 1802" Wordsworth whines that man's ethics are in a condition of consistent decrease,
however, the ethics he is discussing have more to do with following the normal course of life -
being free and incredible, not secured by city living or normal considerations. The main example
an individual can master, as per Wordsworth, is to be consistent with his own driving forces and
wants, however not ravenous. An individual ought to be accessible to help his kindred man, yet
ought not to be devoured by other people groups' necessities. He ought to be in fellowship with
nature, with mankind, and with himself. Religion, while not as predominant as in the verse of
the Enlightenment, has a spot in quite a bit of Wordsworth's verse. Regularly religion is
incorporated basically to help Wordsworth's more devout perusers comprehend the level of his
obligation to and confidence in nature.
Wordsworth utilizes strict symbolism and language in his sonnets to pass on his thoughts
regarding the force of nature, the human brain, and worldwide interconnectivity.
