9 Wordsworth Principles of poetry In the preface of "Lyrical Ballads", he set forth his principles of peotry. "All good poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings" appealed directly to individual sensations as the foundation in the creation and appreciation of poetry.

10 The true function of poetry lies in its power to give an unexpected splendor to familiar and commonplace things. (humble, rustic life as subject-matter)

11 As to language, he endeavored to bring his language near to the real language of man. deliberate simplicity, refusal to decorate, the truth of expression, produced a kind of pure and profound poetry with no other then poet has ever equalled.

12 The most important contribution he has made is that he has not only started the modern poetry, the poetry of the growing inner self, but also changed the course of English poetry by using ordianry speech of the language and by advocating a return to nature.

13 The Prelude 序曲 1) Wordsworth s The Prelude 序曲 or Growth of a Poet s Mind, an autobiographical poem consider ed his masterpiece, is the spiritual record of his mi nd, showing his development of his own thought a nd sentiment. 2) It has 14 books, analyzing the growth of his poetic genius during his childhood and youth, and recalls the lessons he owes to nature. 3) The description of the book has been called a long journey home.

15 Poems about human life He thinks that a common life is the only subject of literary interest. he is a masterhand in searching and revealing the feelings of common people. The joys and sorrows of the common people are his themes. His sympathy always goes to the suffering poor.

17 I Wandered Lonely as a cloud

18 I Wandered Lonely as a cloud 我如行云独自游我好似一朵孤独的流云, 高高地飘游在山谷之上, 突然我看到一大片鲜花, 是金色的水仙遍地开放它们开在湖畔, 开在树下它们随风嬉舞, 随风飘荡它们密集如银河的星星, 像群星在闪烁一片晶莹 ; 它们沿着海湾向前伸展, 通往远方仿佛无穷无尽 ; 一眼看去就有千朵万朵, 万花摇首舞得多么高兴

19 粼粼湖波也在近旁欢跳, 却不如这水仙舞得轻俏 ; 诗人遇见这快乐的旅伴, 又怎能不感到欢欣雀跃进 ; 我久久凝视 ---- 却未领悟这景象所给予我的精神至宝后来多少次我郁郁独卧, 感到百无聊赖心灵空漠 ; 这景象便在脑海中闪现, 多少次安慰过我的寂寞 ; 我的心又随水仙跳起舞来, 我的心又重新充满了欢乐.

20 Comment on the poem This is simply a superb poem depicting poet's love f or nature. It is a lyric poem focusing on the poet's re sponse to the beauty of nature. The poet is never al one when he is with nature.poet never felt himself is olated in the company of nature. He is truely a Pant heist, who loves nature as a mother. Wordsworth 's observations are very deep and may be crowd of Daffodils seems to him as heads of ang els. Personification is also used by the poet and his i ntellect is reflected in this poem. All images are full o f life and mood of poem is joyous.

21 The poem tells us that the bliss we can enjoy in the real sense of the term if we can merge in the nature. Actual c ontact with the daffodils is not the point. Only when he re constructs the moment with his 'inward eye' does he actu ally feel pleasure from the experience. The poet is trappe d. He cannot feel the world until pulls it through memory (time+imagination). He doesn't 'dance with the daffodils' until he is alone and can reflect on them, and at this mo ment, isolated from the actual daffodils, he really only refl ects on himself.

22 Wordsworth simply tells us of an experience he had and what it meant to him, and he also points out that it is this type of experience that you do n't know how valuable it will be to you when it ha ppens; it is later, after you have used the memor y of it to cheer you up many times in your life tha t you realize how much it affected you. To me thi s poem indicates the path to spiritual Enlightenm ent.

23 The solitary reaper 孤独的割麦女看, 一个孤独的高原姑娘在远远的田野间收割, 一边割一边独自歌唱, 请你站住. 或者俏悄走过! 她独自把麦子割了又捆, 唱出无限悲凉的歌声, 屏息听吧! 深广的谷地已被歌声涨满而漫溢! 还从未有过夜莺百啭, 唱出过如此迷人的歌, 在沙漠中的绿荫间抚慰过疲惫的旅客 ; 还从未有过杜鹃迎春, 声声啼得如此震动灵魂, 在遥远的赫布利底群岛打破过大海的寂寥

24 她唱什么, 谁能告诉我? 忧伤的音符不断流涌, 是把遥远的不聿诉说? 是把古代的战争吟咏? 也许她的歌比较卑谦, 只是唱今日平凡的悲欢, 只是唱自然的哀伤苦痛昨天经受过, 明天又将重逢? 姑娘唱什么, 我猜不着, 她的歌如流水永无尽头 ; 只见她一面唱一面干活, 弯腰挥镰, 操劳不休我凝神不动, 听她歌唱, 然后, 当我登上了山岗, 尽管歌声早已不能听到, 它却仍在我心头缭绕

25 Analysis "The Solitary Reaper" is a ballad by Wordsworth, and one of his best-known works in English litera ture. In it, Wordsworth describes in the first pers on, present tense, how he is amazed and moved by a Scottish Highlands girl who sings as she re aps grain in a solitary field. Composed in 1805, t he poem was first published in Poems, in Two V olumes (1807). Each of its four stanzas is eight lines long and wr itten in iambic tetrameter, with a rhyme scheme of a-b-a-b-c-c-d-d, though in the first and last sta nzas the "a" rhyme is off.

26 The words of the reaper's song are incomprehen sible to the speaker, so his attention is free to fo cus on the tone, expressive beauty, and the bliss ful mood it creates in him. The poem functions to praise the beauty of music and its fluid expressiv e beauty, the "spontaneous overflow of powerful feeling" that Wordsworth identified at the heart of poetry.

27 Themes: The poem mainly discusses the theme of poetry. Songs are poetry too, and that is clear to Words worth. We can see that he sees the girl as a poe t because of the preface to Lyrical Ballads (179 8). In it, Wordsworth maintained that poetry shou ld not rely on artificial diction for its effort. Rather, it should be written in more ordinary language an d simpler form so that all classes might appreciat e it. "The Solitary Reaper" exemplifies this belief.

28 However the reaper is one of Wordsworth's most famous "solitaries". Wordsworth used solitary characters to show how to be one with nature. The girl is compared to nighti ngales and cuckoo birds in a positive light, as though sh e is one of them, which shows her natural side. The "vale profound/ Is overflowing with the sound", and this also sh ows that she and nature are sympathetic to each other. Other themes touched on are those of loss "some natura l sorrow, loss or pain" and imagination. The song takes Wordsworth to the corners of the world, from "Arabian sa nds" to the "farthest Hebrides". The lack of understandin g means that he is able to ponder the meaning, also an e xample of imagination.
