Question

Read the following lines from the poem ‘Lines written in Early Spring’ and
prepare a note of appreciation focusing on its theme, imagery and other poetic
devices. ( 5 Marks )
I heard a thousand blended notes,
While in a grove I sate reclined,
In that sweet mood when pleasant thoughts
Bring sad thoughts to the mind,
To her fair works did Nature link
The human soul that through me ran;
And much it grieved my heart to think
What man has made of man.

In 1798, William Wordsworth, poet to ‘Lines Written in Early Spring’, was to publish a volume of poetry known as Lyrical Ballards with his then friend Samuel Taylor Coleridge. In 1802, they published this volume again, this time with a preface written by William Wordsworth himself, wherein he attempted to explain the reasoning for writing his poetry. He wrote, ‘what is a Poet? He is a man speaking to men’, a movement away from an idealized notion of the poet having some higher aim in life and some God-ordained talent to write to educate others
