Synopsis
Excerpt from Select Poems of William Wordsworth: Edited, With Notes
At school enjoyed the Inestimable advantage of a very sensible, though at the same time a very severe master, the Reverend James Bowyer... At the same time that we were studying the Greek tragic poets, he made us read Shakespeare and Milton as lessons; and they were the lessons, too, which required most time and trouble to "bring up," so as to escape his censure. I learned from him that poetry, even that of the loftiest and, seemingly, that of the wildest odes, had a logic of its own, as severe as that of science; and more difficult, because more subtle, more complex, and dependent upon more, and more fugitive causes. "In the truly great poets" he would say, "there is a reason assignable, not only for every word, but for the position of every word."
