| William Wordsworth: a lot sexier before you see the pic |
| So, the story's been told a few too many times now. It is a Friday morning. Media and much despised English Honours assignments are due in. I went to bed at 5am, Chantelle went to bed at 6. We happen to meet in the bottom floor of the language centre. Chantelle's assignment is terrible, she says (hahaha.. HD ;)). "My essay sucks so much, but I really started to like William Wordsworth," I pause. "I'd so do him." I believe this shows in the essay. Taking a look at a few excerpts: |
 |
| "William Wordsworth was the consummate young radical, driven by a disregard for ancient institutions and a lack of sympathy for the higher classes of society which resulted in the formation of a unique poetical theory founded on the abolition of elitism in poetry." "Wordsworth saw poetry as the vessel through which the very essence of humanity could be explored, expressed, and made comprehensible to a general audience. As such, he believed that the core of poetry lay within the experience of the common man and that the truths extracted from these exeperiences should be expressed in the language of |
| ordinary people, unadulterated by effects to make it more 'elegant' or 'sublime', as was the fashion of the time." "Wordsworth's enthusiasm invokes images of a utopia of sorts, in which the human potential to grasp and understand is fully realised..." "...Wordsworth's Poet is an inspiration... [Wordsworth] does not so much attribute visionary qualities to all who write verse, but redefine exactly who and what can truly be called an Artist." "Wordsworth's enthusiasm for his passion is infectious, and his intense desire to understand and express the rawest of human emotions and to carve out a new poetic path is certainly admirable, but the reverence with which he holds |
| the poet not only supports, but creates a new hierarchical system in which the Poet is supreme." Why couldn't he have looked more like Jason Dean? In any case, even if he did, I'm not about to do a Heathcliff and dig him out of his grave. ;) R.H. 4 W.W. back |
