One must read Wordsworth’s poems because they offer a profound union of simplicity, beauty, and philosophical depth. As the “poet of Nature,” Wordsworth transforms landscapes, rivers, and mountains into spiritual companions that nurture and elevate the human soul. His poetry celebrates ordinary people and emotions, making it accessible while carrying deep reflections on life, memory, and imagination. Through his reverence for childhood, his use of simple, natural language, and his belief in poetry’s moral power, Wordsworth redefines literature as a means of spiritual and emotional growth. Reading him is not just an aesthetic experience but also a journey into self-awareness, empathy, and a renewed connection with the natural world. ___________________________________ # 1 : Sonnet on Seeing Miss Helen Maria Williams Weep At a Tale of Distress (1787) Miss Helen Maria Williams # 2 : It is a Beauteous Evening, Calm and Free (1807) # 3 : Written in very Early Youth (1807) # 4 : Lines writte...
