what is poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings recollected in tranquility (explain wordsworths definition of opetry in relation to one of his poems)

Wordsworth's understanding of poetry is perhaps the most explicit articulation of what romanticism is: namely, an outpouring of everything that the early enlightenment banned, while still maintaining a localized subject called an "individual" to do that outpouring. This is emotion. His "Evening on Calais Beach" is an excellent example of this experiential account of silence.
