Describe the beauty of the solitary reaper�s song in The Solitary Reaper Is there any impact of the solitary reaper�s song on William Wordsworth?   The Solitary Reaper It is said that the abstract, silent and profound is the most beautiful. In the poem � The Solitary Reaper � by William Wordsworth, the song of the reaper is a manifestation of beauty that is a �joy forever�.

The spell of the song on him is so strong that he feels being transported away from the ...

COLERIDGE'S DEJECTION; AN ODE Coleridge as a Poet Coleridge (1772-1834) was both a poet and a critic. He was a close associate of Wordsworth and holds a premier position in the literature of Romantic Movement. Coleridge possesses the most vigorous mind among the English Romanticists of the first generation. But his works, his life and his thoughts are marked by an unhappy fate. Unable to cope with intellectual and artistic ambition, being a slave to opium, he scarcely completed any of his undertakings. He collaborated with Wordsworth in the publication of Lyrical Ballads (1798) which announces the commencement of a new age in the history of English literature.
