Abstract

Wordsworth believes that artistic composition is a combination of thought and emotion. During the poetic process, the poet is possessed by powerful passions but he undergoes a period of emotions recollected in tranquility. During this process the influxes of feelings are modified and directed by thoughts. The direction of thought adds a depth of meaning and truth to poetry. For Wordsworth poetry is a method of interpreting reality or the meaning of life.
