Wordsworth believed that poetry should be written in a simple and natural language, reflecting the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings. He believed that true poetry should come from the heart and be a reflection of the beauty and wonder of the natural world. He also emphasized the importance of emotion and imagination in poetry, as well as the connection between the poet and the natural world. Wordsworth's view on poetry can be summed up in his famous line: "Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility."
