My Understanding of Wordsworth’s‘Immortality’in His“Ode:Intimation of Immortality”

William Wordsworth was the representative of the British "Lake poets" In his poems he aimed at simplicity and purity of the language,fighting against the conventional forms of the 18th century poetry.He transformed his observation of the landscape into the revelation of the beauty of nature in poetry,and thus expressed his nature philosophy.In this article the author briefly analyses the organization of his poem: "Ode: Intimation of Immortality" and mainly elaborates her understanding of the poet’s na-ture-philosophy in four points:(a) Man is sensitive to all natural influences in childhood.(b) Nature has a moral and spiritual sig-nificance and helps the poet understand the mystery of human life.(c) Life is but a stage.(d) All good poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings;it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility.

Comments on R·Frost’s After Apple-Picking

Robert Frost once said that a poet“speaks in parables and in hints and inindirections,”for“poetry provides the one permissible way of saying one thingand meaning another.”In After Apple-Picking,one of his best-known poems,Frost again speaks indirectly,in parrables and hints;he is not just talkingabout apple-picking when he says“But I am done with apple-picking now.”What he actually hints is that the“I”(herein indicates the farmer)has justbeen through with his struggle against nature and life.
