On A Portrait Of Wordsworth Comments

I don't know whether Wordsworth had traveled to Helvellyn mountain or not but it can be okay and can come out of poet's imagination. What is too tough to accept about this poem in the current time is its divine image of the poet and bestowing a totally spiritual status to the admired poet, for we live in a time when religion is being misused almost everyday in the world for political and ideological purposes. The truth is our world is more political in negative sense than poetical! ! ! !

O excellent final quatrain. First eight lines marred by " humility" " meekness" , too much religion. But - O this inspirer of Edgar Allan Poe's " The Raven" and so much more. US'nAye
