William Wordsworth has been regarded among the best romance writers of English literature. Wordsworth was so fond of nature, he wrote about rural religious life. He also hated urban capitalism and the cold relationships under monetarism. He spent his time in the Lake area alone, far from the cities. This is how his Lake Poet title was earned. He did more than just present a variety of ideas and propositions in his prologue to Lyric Ballads. His representative work Tintern Abbey (and many other works to excavate the inner world for all mankind) was a significant step towards the creation of modern poetry. This paper will explore the artistic qualities in Tintern Abbey, his most popular poem.
Wordsworth believed poetry had to be in plain and simple language. He only thought that poetry could be more abounding and full of tension if he rubbed every tree, bird, insect, and animal into his poem. This would allow poetry to reflect a love and respect for nature. The poet describes in detail the stunning scenery that he saw when he visited Tintern Abbey five year later. This is the beginning of a process of psychological change as the poet recalls the changes over the years. The poet blends the beauty and grandeur of the natural world with the ability to meditate for a long time with his imaginative vision and unique ideas. The ordinary poems express feelings by nature, which can arouse admiration and appreciation for the thought, inheritance, as well as the transformation of the life. Word repetition was a technique that many poets use to express strong emotions after the return of the poem “Tintern Abbey.” The repetition of a word means that the reader’s attention is drawn to each level of it. The poem begins with the word ‘five’ three times. ‘Five is more that a number. It is a powerful reminder about the past. Through simple and straightforward language, the poet expresses his thoughts about time. Five years may be a long time for the author. It could mean sadness or happiness. To express his gratitude for the five years he has lived, he used the number ‘five’ because only nature can provide vitality and vitality. The paradox and unity between subjection and objection in a poem are what make it unique. However, the poet’s artistic ideal and aesthetic emotion are the key to determining the poem’s essence. This is possible only if you have an artistic vision of high quality. A combination or sublimation of typical emotions or images is what makes an artistic concept a decisive factor. This emotion is only possible if the text creates a connection between the reader and the artist’s image. It can then be both immersive as well as aesthetic. Image can be described as a scenario that is created through imagination or fantasy. It is not imitation but an artistic image that has been permeated by the poet’s feelings. This poem contains many natural images that Wordsworth describes. The poet didn’t just describe a calm, intuitive description. He also described a fusion between thoughts and feelings that he had for nature and his pursuit of freedom. The poet used his imagination to create images of life and a new way of seeing them. This is where Wordsworth’s poem stands out.
Tintern Abbey, Wordsworth’s sole poem on identity, is Tintern Abbey. Wordsworth’s poem Tintern Abbey is about finding his lost self within the calm of nature. Wordsworth wrote a lot of poetry about nature.
Wordsworth’s 1804 masterpiece, I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud is a masterwork of lyricism. According to the poet’s sister and brother, who were said to have been attracted by this beauty in nature, the poem embodies his belief that poetry should be an ’emotion recollected within tranquility’. The entire poem can be broken down into Landscape and Lyric. The poem begins with a solemn first-person narrative. He tries to remember the details of memory, but on the other side, he feels alone and free to appreciate the beauty afforded by nature. He likens himself as a floating cloud. His imaginative lines hint at a sense that he is free from the loneliness of being alone and he can also feel a sense a freedom. He recalls that the daffodils floated in the wind like stars.
Tintern Abbot’s first and fourth verses describe water and mountain. However, the present scenery is described in Tintern Abbot’s first and second stanzas. The poet saw water as “a soft and quiet inland murmur” at the time. This was the “rolling from their mountain springs”. Years later, he recalled seeing the “sounding cataract” that haunted him. However, the same water can offer a completely different mood. The waterfall was a source of inspiration for the perceptive, passionate and impulsive youth five years ago. However, the poet saw a flowing river five years later. Two distinct mindsets can create two images. These images are permeated in the poet’s own feelings. This allows readers to see the hidden beauty and value of the poet. In the past, poets have seen “the tallrock, / The mountains, and the deep and dark wood.” Young poets loved the forms and colors of the scenery. The poets of that time did not have the maturity to understand the underpinning of the present. To describe the woods, the poet used two words: “deep” and”gloomy”. This not only captured the mystery charm of the woods but also the young poet’s psychological reaction to it. The poet saw a different scene five years later.
Are these cliffs so high and steep?
It is a stunning scene in the wild and remote.
You may think of deeper seclusion and more connection.
The quietness of nature is reflected in the landscape.
These landscapes were no longer his hobbies. They became an organic whole that he relied on and harmonised with. The poet created a fascinating figure: a deer to represent his past. He compared himself with a deer to show his emotions clearly and vibrantly through the view of a Deer.
The Wye River was the source of his spiritual comfort, and thought, when the poet was away at the abbey. This image was not only accurately depicted by the poet, but also how he thought about it.
In darkness, and among the many forms
The joyless sunshine; the worryful stir
The fever of the planet, and unprofitable
You have been my constant companion.
How many times, in spirit, am I turning to thee?
O sylvan Wye! Wanderer through the woods!
How often have my thoughts turned to you?
This type of implicit, but simple depiction adds charm to Wye River’s image. It creates a feeling of blending feelings with scenes and creates an atmosphere. It inspires imagination, gives strength and magnifies the beauty of everyday life.
He had purified his mind in the last stanza. He could feel:
A deeper intermixed version.
Whose home is the light that sets suns?
The ocean is round, the air is living.
The blue sky, and the mind man
The impetus to move and inspire.
All things that think, all objects that think,
All things are covered by his grin.
All things, including light, sky, water, and air, are endowed with the spirit God. They support the harmonious operation of all subjective thoughts. This unique method creates an image that is both unconventional and artistic. It also gives readers more room to imagine.
Wordsworth’s travels in Europe over his life made his knowledge of nature deeper and more real. It is difficult to feel peaceful and content in a city that has been ravaged by the French Revolution’s cruelty. Although this revolution was intended to liberate human nature the poet enthusiastically supported it. However, after the baptism this revolution brought, the poet feels that people need to return to their natural surroundings immediately. Tintern Abbey, a poem that depicts the beauty and power of nature and humankind, shows how nature can influence human behavior and the relationship between humans and nature. Wordsworth and the sister of the poet swam on the banks of the river, returning to the poet with the memories of the past and the beauty of the natural world. The poet saw himself as an integral part of the natural world and integrated into it. The scene he and the sister took to the river five decades ago was the one that brought him closer to nature. This poem reveals the beauty and wonder of human nature.
