First Sonnet of William Wordsworth Published in The European Magazine in 1787

William Wordsworth made his debut in the field of writing by publishing a Sonnet in "The European Magazine" in the year 1787. William Wordsworth wrote this Sonnet when he was attending St John's College, Cambridge. He wrote this  Sonnet, on seeing Miss Helen Maria Williams.

Sonnet:-

She wept - Life's purple tide began to flow
In languid Dreams through every thrilling vein ;
Dim were my swimming eyes - my pulse beat flow,
And my full heart was  swell'd to dear delicious pain,

Life left my loaded heart, and closing eyes ;
A sigh recall'd the wanderer to my breast ;
Dear was the pause of life, and dear the sigh,
That call'd the wandered home, and home to rest.

That tear proclaims - in thee each virtue dwells,
And bright will shine in misery's midnight hour ;
As the soft star of dewy evening tells
What radiant fires were drown'd by day's malignant pow'r,
That only wait the darkness of the night 
To chear the wand'ring wretch with hospitable light.

I THOUGHT I COULD! "  And so it speeds along. By - Christine Weatherly Summary: In the poem, the writer personifi...

The Pulley By G. Herbert Full Explanation

The Pulley by George Herbert. Know the line by line Explanation , Theme And Summary of the Poem.  The Pulley:- When God at first made man, Having a glass of blessings standing by; Let us (said he) pour on him all we can, Let the worlds riches, which dispersed lie, Contract into a span. So strength first made a way, Then beauties flowed, then wisdom, honour, pleasure, When almost all was out, God made a stay, Perceiving that alone of all his treasure; Rest in the bottom lay. For if I should (said he); Bestow this Jewell also on my creature, He should adore my gifts instead of me; And rest in Nature, net the God of Nature, So both should losers be, Yet let him keep the rest, But keep them with repining restlessness; Let him be rich and weary; that at least, If goodness leads him not, vet weariness; May tossed him to my breast. - G. Herbert Theme and Summary: As George Herbert was a priest in England, he wrote many religious poems with metaphysical concepts. The reflection of devo...
