William Wordsworth, a founder of the romantic movement, was one of the most
important and original English poets. He was renown for his nature poetry. In
his Lyrical Ballads published in 1789, he said his aim is "to choose
incidents and situations from common life...in a selection of language really
used by men."
His poetry lives on, because the emotional power of his poems continues to touch
"the essential passions of the heart."
