ITEM(s) OVER 135 YEARS OLD!! William Wordsworth is considered one of the foremost English romantic poets, composed flowing blank verse on the spirituality of nature and the wonders of human imagination. Wordsworth was born on April 7, 1770, in Cockermouth, Cumberland, and educated at Saint John's College, University of Cambridge. He developed a keen love of nature as a youth, and during school vacation periods he frequently visited places noted for their scenic beauty. In the summer of 1790 he took a walking tour through France and Switzerland. After receiving his degree in 1791 he returned to France, where he became an enthusiastic convert to the ideals of the French Revolution (1789-1799). His lover Annette Vallon of Orleans bore him a daughter in December 1792, shortly before his return to England. Disheartened by the outbreak of hostilities between France and Great Britain in 1793, Wordsworth nevertheless remained sympathetic to the French cause. In "Ode: Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood" (1807), Wordsworth considers the Platonic notion that humans forget all their knowledge at birth and spend the remainder of their lives recollecting, rather than learning. Wordsworth celebrates the child, who enjoys an ecstatic communion with nature, and hopes that as an adult he can eventually recover this ecstasy by heeding intuition.
