The document analyzes how four poems by William Wordsworth - "I Wander Lonely as a Cloud", "Solitary Reaper", "My Heart Leaps Up", and "Composed Upon Westminster Bridge" - relate to ideas presented in his preface to Lyrical Ballads. The preface discusses writing poetry using simple language about common life experiences, and defines poetry as "the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings recollected in tranquility." The document finds that the poems reflect these ideas by treating themes of nature, memory, and the feelings inspired by nature, consistent with Wordsworth's method of writing poetry through recollection of powerful emotions.

TASK: Comparison between the preface and the poems: I wander lonely as a cloud, Solitary Reaper, My
heart leaps up, Composed upon Westminster bridge.
In the preface to the lyrical ballads is presented a good method to write poetry. This method is based on writing in a simple language and treat situations of the common life. Nevertheless we can resume better Wordsworths method in a simple sentence: poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings recollected in tranquility. So for Wordsworth memory was the key of creative poetry and nature, emotions, his inspiration. Analyzing the poems we can notice that the solitary reaper and the daffodils treat the theme of memory and nature while composed upon Westminster bridge and my heart leaps up reflect more on the amazement in front of nature. In the Daffodils the poet presents nature as a source of inspiration but also as a comfort for the poet that feels lonely, in fact he say: a bliss of solitude. Moreover he makes us understand that by recollecting emotions in tranquility through the use of imagination the poet can feel them again and in that moment his inspired to write poetry. Therefore the content of the poetry reflects perfectly the new method coined by Wordsworth. In the Solitary Reaper the themes are similar or even equal to the previous poem. Nature his seen as a source of inspiration, but it is the only way to come in contact with moral and spiritual values. Memory is praised for the beautiful effects it has on men. In the poem the protagonist was totally captured by the scene and the song , that created in him feelings so strong that he continued to listen to the song in his heart. My heart leaps up as said before treats the theme of amazement in front of nature. The central sentence of the poem: the child is father of the man explains clearly that the child has the task to teach the father to be more emotional and to become excited in front of a natural event. Therefore reconnecting this to the preface Wordsworth underlines the importance of the nature and the strong feelings that can create. Finally the last poem, Composed upon Westminster bridge focuses on the qualities of the city and of the nature , but especially on the way of nature of taking the most simple thing and make it look of something of great beauty. Therefore the content is very linked to the preface. To sum up there is a deep relationship between the four poems and the preface.
