Summary/Abstract: Main topic of William Wordsworth‘s poetry, i. e. of the poet of the older generation of English romantics is nature, being often the setting for exploration of the development and growth of human inner being from the childhood era to the world of grown ups. Inclined to compare the Nature with human world, the poet often finds it also to be an expression of moral cleanness that is to be followed and respected by human society which is awry and dispatched from the right tracks. All his poetry intermitted with emotions and recollections from some personal experiences delivers, even today, a universal message, not at all time-bound, still up-to-date, proving his poetry to be of a single quality, authentic and of an extraordinary simplicity, therefore adequate for the era of practical approach and the one inclined to simplify whatever and wherever possible. Such inclinations were traced only after elaborate examination of his verses in a manner that focuses primarily on poetry itself, liberated of intertextual, biographical and social components of the time that it was created in.
