According to the passage, what does wordsworth
believe that poetry should include? check all that
apply
the principal object, then, proposed in these poems was
to choose incidents and situations from common life, and
to relate or describe them, throughout, as far as was
possible in a selection of language really used by men.
and, at the same time, to throw over them a certain
colouring of imagination, whereby ordinary things should
be presented to the mind in an unusual aspect; and,
further, and above all, to make these incidents and
situations interesting

what is the context here? we need to know what story you're talking about : )

wordsworth tends to see nature as 'out there'; a presence which surrounds humans, and contributes to human life, but is different from humans. if you look at a typical wordsworth poem (there was a boy, ye knew him well ye rocks) - wordsworth talks about nature as something that needs to be learned about and understood, nature is different from us.  

if you look at a byron poem (the isles of greece is a good one) - byron looks at nature mainly for what it already means to man. wordsworth will look at a landscape and see the mountains, trees, valleys, and rivers as almost spiritual presences - wordsworth wants to get to know nature.  

byron will look at the same landscape and he will want to know who lives there, what are the villages? are there any farms or mines, is there some history?  

wordsworth looks at nature for what it is; byron is forever asking what it means.  

wordsworth thinks that humans are part of nature; byron thinks that nature is part of being human
