Some critics have assumed that: " The Ode is 'Wordsworth's conscious farewell to his art, a dirge sung over his departing powers'" (Trilling, 123). Other writers disagree, but none the less, the significance still remains. If Wordsworth has decided to describe his growing fertility, and loss of " the glory and the dream... ", than nature has certainly been given a very important role to play ...

Poet Should Express 18 Th Century Nature
473 wordsRalph Waldo Emerson states in The Poet the question, which is what is the poet? He says that all men express their feelings, but what makes a poet is that he has more ability to express his own. For example, a poet would express the beauty of nature well, while men who are less expressive cannot give nature the worth it should be given, related to reality of course. A poet would talk, as well about the common wealth not his own wealth. What is meant by that is that he does not only convey his ow...

And Hamlet the character has had an especial temptation for that most dangerous type of critic: the critic with a mind which is naturally of the creative order, but which through some weakness in creative power exercises itself in criticism instead. These minds often find in Hamlet a vicarious existence for their own artistic realization. Such a mind had Goethe, who made of Hamlet...
