Briefly analyze William Wordsworth's short poems according to the subjects.
A. Wordsworth is regarded as of nature. He can penetrate to the heart of things and give the reader the life of nature.
B. Beyond the pleasure of the picturesque with their emphasis on the eye and theexternal aspects of nature, lies a moral awareness, a sense of completeness in multiplicity.
C. As he is aware of his communion with all things, nature becomes an in spiring force of rapture, a power revealing the workings of the soul. To Wordsworth, nature acts as a substitute for imaginative and intellectual engagement with the development of embodied human beings in their diverse circumstances. It is nature that gives him“strength and knowledge full of peace”
D. Wordsworth thinks common life is the subject of literary interest. The joys and sorrows of the common people are his themes. His sympathy goes to the suffering poor.
E. When we read poems like: "The Thorn" "Michael," and so on, we find ourselves in the presence of poverty, crime, insanity, ruined innocence, solitary anguish, anddespair. The "Lucy poems" describe a young country girl living a simple life in a village. And the poem "The Solitary Reaper" and "To a Highland Girl" use rural figures to suggest the mystery of humanity and its beauty. In its use of subject matter and sense of the authenticity of the experience of the poorest, "Resolution and Independence" is the conclusion of ide as developed in the Lyrical Ballads.
