Close ReadingsPaul Fry on William Wordsworth ("A Slumber Did My Spirit Seal")Some of the most profound insights I have ever had as a student of poetry occurred in the classroom of Paul Fry, and so this episode really is a dream for me. Paul Fry joins the podcast to talk about William Wordsworth's poem "A Slumber Did My Spirit Seal." Just an eight-line poem, but it opens for us into some big questions: Where does Wordsworth fit into the history of autobiography and poetry? How should we think of his phrase "spots of time"? Who was "Lucy," the girl who seems to be memorialized in this and a h...

Human Voices Wake UsAdvice from William WordsworthAn episode from 3/29/23: Why should we continue to read the poetry of William Wordsworth? Tonight’s episode is devoted to Jonathan Bate’s biography, Radical Wordsworth: The Poet Who Changed the World, where he more than answers the question. For me, anyone who cares about poetry devoted to nature, introspection, and autobiography, can still learn the most from Wordsworth. And his concerns—the necessity of emotion and plain language in poetry, the belief that we have no greater story to tell than our own, and his love for the natural world—are as contemporary as anything on the news.

Improve your English by lending an earShe was a Phantom of delight by William WordsworthEnglish Romantic poet William Wordsworth wrote "She was a Phantom of Delight" in 1803 about his wife, Mary Hutchinson. The poem's speaker describes his first encounter with a "lovely Apparition," or a beautiful spirit, who turns out to be quite human after all once he gets to know her. Rather than temper the speaker's admiration, however, seeing the woman as fully human makes the speaker love her even more. "She was a Phantom of Delight" was published in Wordsworth's 1807 collection, Poems, in Two Volumes.

Speaking of the poem, Wordsworth said,"But it was not so much from the source of animal vivacity that my difficulty came, as from a sense of the indomitableness of the spirit within me. I used to brood over the stories of Enoch and Elijah, and almost persuade myself that, whatever might become of others, I should be translated in something of the same way to heaven.

It was during a solitary walk on the banks of the Cam that I was first struck with this appearance, and applied it to my own feelings in the manner here expressed, changing the scene to the Thames, near Windsor. This, and the three stanzas of the following poem, Remembrance of Collins, formed one piece; but, upon the recommendation of Coleridge, the three last stanzas were separated from the other.—I. F.

By William Wordsworth More William Wordsworth
The minstrels played their Christmas tune
To-night beneath my cottage-eaves;
While, smitten by a lofty moon,
The encircling laurels, thick with leaves,
Gave back a rich and dazzling sheen,
That overpowered their natural green.
Through hill and valley every breeze
Had sunk to rest with folded wings:
Keen was the air, but could not freeze,
Nor check, the music of the strings;
So stout and hardy were the band

Positive Vibes with Henry SirPodcasts Speaking within YouI wandered lonely as a cloud - William WordsworthThis is one of the best poems penned by the great William Wordsworth. I personally love it. I had this poem as a part of our syllabus at school. Mr. Richard Monterio was our English teacher and I truly loved the way he used to teach us. I still remember the classroom & his extravagant enigma. This poem has been etched in my mind forever.

The Poetry PodcastComposed Upon Westminster Bridge by William WordsworthComposed upon Westminster Bridge September 3, 1802, by William Wordsworth
Earth has not anything to show more fair:
Dull would he be of soul who could pass by
A sight so touching in its majesty:
This City now doth, like a garment, wear
The beauty of the morning; silent, bare,
Ships, towers, domes, theatres, and temples lie
Open unto the fields, and to the sky;
All bright and glittering in the smokeless air.
Never did sun more beautifully steep
In his first splendour, valley, rock, or hill;
Ne'er saw I, never felt, a calm so deep!
The river glideth at his own...

POETRY IN TIMES OF PANDEMIC.POETRY IN TIMES OF PANDEMIC: TWO POEMS OF WILLIAM WORDSWORTHI am reading two short poems of William Wordsworth: 1. LINES COMPOSED UPON WESTMINSTER BRIDGE 2. THE WORLD IS TOO MUCH WITH US. In these challenging times realization of the importance of Nature has been a common experience as we are shut inside our houses and listen to the sounds of birds and watch the sky at night and feel the sweetness of the air....things that we have forgotten to notice for long. Wordsworth reminds us of the limitations of the material worls. Nature is always soothing. We must respect her.

Every Poem Podcast EverThe World Is Too Much with Us by William Wordsworth.The World Is Too Much with Us" is a sonnet by the English poet William Wordsworth. This relatively simple poem angrily states that human beings are too preoccupied with the material (“The world...getting and spending”) and have lost touch with the spiritual and with nature.A good relationship with nature helps individuals connect to both the spiritual and the social worlds.

Poetry Reads by Addison WittThe World is Too Much With Us by William WordsworthWilliam Wordsworth - 1770-1850
Just six years before the American Revolution, April 7, 1770, William Wordsworth was born in Cumbria, England. Wordsworth's mother died when he was eight—
You can imagine that this experience shaped much of his work, particularly later in life. While he was at Hawkshead grammar school Wordsworth's father died leaving him and his four siblings orphans. Wordsworth studied at St. John's College in Cambridge and before his final semester he set out on a walking tour of Europe, an experience that influenced both his poetry and his political sensibilities.

To remember the experience, perhaps you might take a photograph. But while a photograph can snap a single moment, a still image doesn’t really reflect the way your original experience unfolded through time. Can writing achieve something different? Both William Wordsworth and James Joyce were interested in the problem of how to represent the continuous stream of conscious experience.

Wordsworth riconosce negli elementi più umili della natura (come i noti narcisi), in una lingua semplice ed in un modello di vita rurale l'espressione più alta e filosofica del senti...

Think About ItGreat Books 22: Maureen McLane on William WordsworthThe British romantic poet William Wordsworth is best known for his moving evocations of nature, his celebration of childhood, and his quest to find a shared humanity. He’s also considered the first modern poet because he turns his mind's workings into the subject of his poetry. That hadn’t happened before. What Wordsworth may really be about, I discussed with brilliant poet and critic Maureen McLane, is whether we trade in the ecstasies of youthful exuberance for a measured but diminished life.Uli Baer teaches literature and photography as University Professor at New York University.

Half hidden from the eye!

Is shining in the sky.

Love, faithful love, recall’d thee to my mind—

And sings a melancholy strain;
O listen! for a vale profound

No nightingale did ever chant
More welcome notes to weary bands
Of travellers in some shady haunt
Among Arabian sands;
No sweeter voice was ever heard
In springtime from the cuckoo-bird,
