Essay on the Mysticism of Wordsworth Poetry.

 

Mysticism of Wordsworth Poetry:

Wordsworth's mysticism is remarkable for his meditative mood and pantheistic conception of Nature. In fact the mystic clings to the truth behind the shifting symbol. About mysticism Tennyson says, "By God Almighty! There is no delusion in the matter! It is no nebulous ecstasy but a state of transcendent wonder, associated with the absolute clearness of mind." The fundamental basis of a mystic is grounded in the belief of the mystic that there is an essential unity, oneness of likeness in all the objects of nature and human nature created by the Almighty God. As a mystic Wordsworth sees one undivided changeless life in all lives and sees the one inseparable in the separate. The transcendental feeling of ecstasy and cosmic consciousness comes to Wordsworth at intervals and in such moment he becomes a living soul forgetting all about his external existence.

Blank verse can be composed in any meter and with any amount of feet per line (any line length), though the iamb is generally the predominant foot. Along with the iamb there are 3 other standard feet and a number of variations that can be employed in a blank verse poem.
