CONCEPT OF TIME (William Wordsworth)
He belongs to the first generation of the Romantic poets, who were charactersed by the attempt to theorise about poetry
While planning Lyrical Ballads the poets decided that Wordsworth would write on the beauty of nature and ordinary things
In his poetry Wordstworth speaks about the relationship between the world and the human consciusness. He says that the nature influences him emotions and sensation, that man could not exist without nature but as an active partecipant in it. Nature can also influence our perceptions in fact Worsworth claims that we perceive the power of nature with our sense
He believes that there are three stages of development of human mind: childhood, youth and adulthood
Childhood is the most important stage because when we are young we see nature and live in it, so we remember it in future.
So
memory
is the major force in the process of growth of the poet's mind and moral character, and its memory that allows him to give poetry its life and its power
What we read in the poem results from an active relationship of present to
past experiences
When the poet sees an object and feels an emotion of joy, he collects his emotion in his mind. After a period of time, he remembers the object and writes the poem thanks to the eye of imagination
So that, when the reader reads the poem, he feels the same emotions that the poet felt.
In his poem "daffodils" we can better undestand his process of
memory
It records the experience of a walk the poet went with his sister Dorothy neir their home in the Lake District
During the walk he saw a great quantity of daffodils which made him feel happy and in contact with the nature, they become dancing crowd
