Ode; Intimations of Immortality: From Recollections of Early Childhood (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda
Reseña del editor
William Wordsworth is a celebrated poet the world over and the creator of verses which have soothed and succoured countless thousands of people in their quieter moments. The Ode: Intimations of Immortality; From Recollections of Early Childhood is from a particularly acclaimed period in his career and is amongst the most delightfully innocent works written in the English language.
Wordsworth emphasised the idea of children's greater understanding of the 'the great deep'. An ethereal part of our common experience which allows an openness to communicating and understanding the greater purpose of the universe. Reading a description of the most beautiful aspects of childhood cannot fail to make the reader nostalgic.
Wordsworth's enthusiasm for each tiny part of a childhood surrounded by nature mimics nature itself in its abundance and variety. While the work is undoubtedly Christian in influence, the author makes his own conclusions and expresses his understanding of the divine in a way that is accessible to all those with a spiritual imagination. It is a welcome respite from cynicism and gritty realism into a world of our own recollections of childhood, far more even than Wordsworth's. His imagery is timeless, a baby in arms or an opening flower, what is new is the evocative nature of his poetry.
Whilst this is a balm for the souls of fans of classic poetry it can bring a small holiday to anyone seeking a brief respite on memory lane along with an almost Daoist interest in the child as a philosopher and conduit of the divine.

Excerpt from Ode; Intimations of Immortality: From Recollections of Early Childhood
This was composed during my residence at Town-end, Grasmere. Two years at least passed between the writing of the four first stanzas and the remaining part. To the attentive and competent reader the whole sufficiently explains itself; but there may be no harm in adverting here to particular feelings or experiences of my own mind on which the structure of the poem partly rests. Nothing was more difficult for me in childhood than to admit the notion of death as a state applicable to my own being. I have said elsewhere,
"A simple child, That lightly draws its breath, And feels its life in every limb, What should it know of death!"
But it was not so much from feelings of animal vivacity that my difficulty came as from a sense of the indomitableness of the spirit within me. I used to brood over the stories of Enoch and Elijah, and almost to persuade myself that, whatever might become of others, I should be translated, in something of the same way, to heaven. With a feeling congenial to this, I was often unable to think of external things as having external existence, and I communed with all that I saw as something not apart from, but inherent in, my own immaterial nature.

Ode; Intimations of Immortality: From Recollections of Early Childhood
Impresión bajo demandaLibrería: Forgotten Books, London, Reino Unido
Calificación del vendedor: 5 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the profound and timeless themes of childhood, memory, and the elusive nature of immortality. Through an in-depth analysis of a celebrated 19th-century ode, the author explores the poet's evocative journey from the vibrant, innocent perceptions of youth to the more somber realities of adulthood. Drawing upon a remarkable literary discovery, the author reveals striking parallels between the ode and the work of a previously unknown 17th-century poet, illuminating the enduring power of these universal human experiences. By juxtaposing these two voices across centuries, the book invites readers to contemplate the fleeting nature of childhood wonder and the ways in which our early experiences shape our understanding of life, death, and the very essence of existence. Ultimately, this book offers a poignant and thought-provoking meditation on the enduring legacy of childhood and its profound influence on our adult lives.
