About the author

William Wordsworth (1770-1850) was a major English romantic poet who, with Samuel Taylor Coleridge, helped launch the Romantic Age in English literature with their 1798 joint publication, Lyrical Ballads.

Wordsworth's masterpiece is generally considered to be The Prelude, an autobiographical poem of his early years, which the poet revised and expanded a number of times. The work was posthumously titled and published, prior to which, it was generally known as the poem "to Coleridge". Wordsworth was England's Poet Laureate from 1843 until his death in 1850.

felt right to read Wordsworth in the lake district but got distracted and forgot to finish it

Every single one of the lyrical ballads and poems are just fantastic, but there was one that got stuck in my mind and made me go back and reread it (over and over..). I lost track of how many times i read that poem. The name of it? "We are seven".

Almost a duplicate of Wordsworth's Lyrical Ballads, With a Few Other Poems.

It has been a few years, I guess, since I stopped reading poems. I have written some poems since then, but reading this reminded me of where I wanted to be, when I started writing.
Absolutely loved it.
