Discuss Wordsworth’s
view on Poet
Wordsworth defines
a poet as a man of more comprehensive soul. A poet is different from other men,
because he/she has a more lively sensibility. And his emotions and passions are
more enthusiastic, tenderer and more powerful. He has a greater knowledge of
human nature. The poet is a man speaking to men. But the poet is not only a
social instrument but an individual, pleased with his own passions and
volitions. The poet has a greater degree of imaginative power than other men, a
power of looking from heaven to earth and earth to heaven.
The insight of the
poet is higher than other people. That is why, a poet can create new ideas and
present them to us with images and symbols. The poet’s curiosity and interest
in life is intense. Therefore, the poet depicts human life in different ways.
His responsibility is great because, what other people can’t think or see, he
is to present the incredible and invisible images to the readers. Other people
also feel and think that but they don’t have the diversity of their sense
perception as the poet has, that is why, the poet’s soul is very powerful and
creative. The poet must have the knowledge of human life and human society
because his main study is man society. The poet seeks the truth about life and
nature. His main purpose is to give pleasure by painting out the different
branches of knowledge of this vast universe.
The poet creates
characters and the characters are the spokesmen of his ideas. Wordsworth’s idea
about the poet is romantic ad democratic. He says that the poet shouldn’t live
in a lofty height. Rather he must be one of the common human beings. He should
feel what others feel and accordingly he should describe the common feelings
and passions. Like the scientist or any other creative man the poet rejoices
over his own invention because the purpose of all inventions and discoveries is
to give pleasure. The poet also describes the real incidents that we are facing
daily. Moreover, by the power of his creative imagination, the poet creates
significant images to sharp our senses ad sensibilities, and to enhance our
knowledge about life.................
