        So, let's discuss in detail about Wordsworth's life and his poems.

His early life:

        William Wordsworth was born in 1770. His long life was divided into four periods.

 1) His childhood and youth in Cumberland hills from 1770 to 1787. While Wordsworth was a famous one nature poet, this place provided him with natural elements.

  4) A long and last period of Wordsworth life in the Northern lake region. Where he was born and where he lived full half century so close to nature and this is the same period you will find her influence in all his poetry. Wordsworth told a life which is marked , not by events but also he got spiritual experiences. 

       Wordsworth was born in 1770 at cockermouth. This is the place where he was born. In childhood he lost his parents. Wordsworth was a person of moody and violent temper. Only because his mother despaired of him alone among her five children. She died when he was eight years old. So that he could remember his mother as:

     " The heart of all our learning and our loves "

        He was writing this sentence about his mother. After six year later the death of his mother his father died and he became an orphan was taken in charge by relatives and also who sent him to school at Hawkshead in the beautiful lake region. Here, he was attracted to nature more than the discipline of the classics and he learned more from flowers and hills and stars than from his books. You will find Wordsworth's best known record in " The prelude " . In this poem three things are impressive to the reader.

      First, Wordsworth loves to be alone.

      Second, like every other child , who spends much time alone in the woods and fields. That time he feels the presence of some living spirit.

      Third, he feels everything like his own.

      The second period of his life begins with his university course at Cambridge in 1787. In his third book of " The prelude ", he produced some literary work as a student. Here, he also tried to prove himself as an ordinary scholar and following his own genius.   

      Perhaps, the most interesting thing in his life is nature politics. That's why he produced his own view about the French revolution, a volume of history to show the hope and ambitions that stirred all Europe.

His later life:

       The period of Wordsworth's life where he was living with his sister Dorothy and with Coleridge. He had taken care of a young friend Culvert , who died and left Wordsworth to a hundred pounds and requested that he give his life to poetry. This is the unexpected gift for Wordsworth to retire from the world and follow his genius.

His poetry:

Another poetry is "conceit" speaking the language of simple truth, free feeling of himself and portraying man and nature as they are and in this good work we are apt to miss the beauty, the passion, the intensity that hide themselves under his simplest lines. Another is "Peter Bell '' and "The Idiot Boy ''.

    

Poem of nature:

      2) In his poetry you will find the truthfulness of his representation of beauty that he wrote.

      3) No other poets ever found such abundance in the common world. 

      4) This is the last characteristic of his poetry. It is about the recognised but sentient, personal life and the recognition of all the world's great poetry. In his childhood Wordsworth regarded natural objects, the steam, the hills, the flowers, even the wind as his companions.
