LyricalBallads: “The principal object, then, proposed in these Poems was to choose incidents and situations from common life, and to relate or describe them . . . in a selection of language really used by men, and . . . throw over them a certain colouring of imagination, whereby ordinary things should be presented to the mind in an unusual aspect.” “Humble and rustic life was generally chosen, because . . . passions of the heart find a better soil” . . . and “are incorporated with the beautiful and permanent forms of nature.” William Wordsworth, 1798 “The Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog” Caspar David Friedrich, 1818

  3. Rime of the Ancient Mariner(1798)“The Poem of my Friend has indeed great defects.” . . . “Yet the Poem contains many delicate touches of passion, and indeed the passion is every where true to nature, a great number of the stanzas present beautiful images, and are expressed with unusual felicity of language.”.William Wordsworth
