Thinking Activity on Wordsworth's preface to lyrical ballads

Preface to lyrical ballads by William Wordsworth .

William Wordsworth (7 April 1770 - 23 April 1850) was a major English romantic poet who, with Samuel Taylor Coleridge, helped to launch the romantic age in English literature with their joint publication lyrical ballads (1798) . the year 1793 saw the first publication of poems by Wordsworth, in the collections an evening walk and descriptive sketches. in 1795 he received a legacy of 900 pounds from Raisley calvert and became able to pursue a career as a poet.

Here Is my answer,

[1] what is the basic difference between the poetic creed of " classicism " and " Romanticism " ?

We can say that classicism and romanticism are two ideologies. Romantic poet believe in subjectivity and classical poet believe in objectivity. Romanticist believe in imagination and they were free from rules and regulations. They represent rustic life ,life of common people. It may be something more than the school of thoughts and ideologies. Classicism believe in intellect, they followed rules and regulations .They present urban life.

[2] What is poetic diction ?which sort of poetic diction is suggested by Wordsworth in his preface? 

Poetic diction means the language used in poetry. According to Wordsworth, language of poetry should be " really used by men " .words used in everyday life gives a rough framework of the poetry, but if a poet is inspired then his imagination might be a disturbance to the use of language used by common people.

[3 ] why does Wordsworth says what is poet?  Rather who is poet. 

Every human passes through good and bad experience, but everyone cannot express it in form of poetry. A poet connects the readers with his emotion as well as his imagination. He builds a lively image of an experience. Rather than who is he is, what he is matters, his characteristic matters. This what makes him different from others. 

[4] What is poetry? 

Poetry is to teach Moral lesson with a feeling of delight. It is to give instruction and delight by connecting people with the poet and his imagination .

Poetry is an art,Wordsworth's gives very famous Defination "poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feeling; it takes its origin from emotions recollected in tranquility".a poet writes about his imagination, feeling, emotion of his life in poetry.

[ 5] Discuss - Daffodils " I wandered as a lonely cloud.. " with reference  to Wordsworth poetic creed .

" I wandered as a lonely cloud..." Daffodils Is the best example of Wordsworth's defination of poetry. Poetry is a spontaneous overflow of a powerful feeling, recollected in tranquality. Many time, we capture beauty of nature by our eyes, but we cannot recollect and express that delight in tranquality. Wordsworth does this amazingly. He enjoys the nature and represents it beautifully. We can say nature is At it's best In this poetry. Delight of a particular moment and it's memory are represented all together. 

Thank you........
