Topic > Williamworth and the Mortality of the Imagination

Analysis of lines composed a few miles above Tintern Abbey, The Prelude, The World is Too Much with Us and London, 1802 One of our greatest fears is the fear of death. Immortality is something any of us would accept in a heartbeat, so we don't have to face death. But this is something we cannot escape from. Mortality is an unpleasant thought that resides in our minds during our daily lives. However, this fear is something that develops more over time as we get older. Children believe the world is such a wonderful place that they feel invincible. They also have wonderful creative abilities and imaginations that are often revealed to us when they can play a game for hours at a time. However, as the child gets older, this imagination and creativity may disappear. This is what Williamworth is terrified of.worth is an English poet, as well as his colleague Samuel Taylor Coleridge published the first edition of Lyrical Ballads and changed everything, as Evelyn Toynton mentioned, “Early in 1798, Coleridge and a poet little-known named Williamworth decided to publish a joint volume of their poems. (Toynton, Evelyn). William expressed this fear of a premature mortality of the imagination in each of his works, Lines Composed a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey, The Prelude, The World is Too Much with Us and London, 1802. Chiefly in Lines composed a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey, the mortality of creativity and imagination is expressed by value. This is a poem about the beauty of an ancient cathedral called Tintern Abbey. He hasn't been there in five years and brought his sister with him. Even if the imagination is not immortal, there is a way to reclaim it: “That time has passed, / and all its aching joys are… at the center of the card… with Us. Finally, Worth's poem, London, 1802, also shows his fear of a premature mortality of the imagination. All these works contain his fear of losing imagination and how man should return to nature.
