Ode

""Ode: Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood"" is a poem written by William Wordsworth. It is considered one of his most famous works and was first published in 1807. The poem is divided into eleven stanzas and explores the theme of childhood innocence and the loss of that innocence as we grow older. Wordsworth reflects on his own childhood memories and the feelings of wonder and joy he experienced as a young child. He then contrasts these memories with his current state of being, where he feels disconnected from the natural world and unable to recapture the sense of wonder he once had. The poem also touches on the idea of the soul and the possibility of immortality. Wordsworth suggests that the memories of our childhood are a glimpse into a higher realm of existence, and that we are all connected to a larger spiritual reality. Overall, ""Ode: Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood"" is a deeply philosophical and introspective work that explores themes of memory, mortality, and the human experience.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
