From the
Preface
to
Lyrical Ballads
(1802) by
William Wordsworth
:
I have said that
poetry
is the
spontaneous overflow
of
powerful feelings
: it takes its
origin
from
emotion
recollected in
tranquillity
: the emotion is contemplated till by a species of reaction the tranquillity gradually disappears, and an
emotion
, kindred to that which was before the
subject of contemplation
, is gradually
produced
, and does itself actually exist in the
mind
.
