PREFACE [PAGE viii] The powers requisite for the production of
TXTWWPoems; E665|
poetry are, first, those of observation and description. . . .
TXTWWPoems; E665|
whether the things depicted be actually present to the senses, or
TXTWWPoems; E665|
have a place only in the memory. . . . 2dly, Sensibility, . . .

I see in Wordsworth the Natural Man rising up against the
AnnWWPoems; E665|
Spiritual Man Continually & then he is No Poet but a Heathen
AnnWWPoems; E665|
Philosopher at Enmity against all true Poetry or Inspiration
TXTWWPoems; E665|
[PAGE 3] And I could wish my days to be
TXTWWPoems; E665|
Bound each to each by natural piety.
AnnWWPoems; E665|
There is no such Thing as Natural Piety Because The Natural
AnnWWPoems; E665|
Man is at Enmity with God

This is all in the highest degree Imaginative & equal to any

Influence of Natural Objects

In calling forth and strengthening the Imagination

in Boyhood and early Youth.

Natural Objects always did & now do Weaken deaden &
AnnWWPoems; E665|
obliterate Imagination in Me Wordsworth must know that what he

[PAGE 341] Essay, Supplementary to the Preface.
AnnWWPoems; E665|
I do not know who wrote these Prefaces they are very
AnnWWPoems; E665|
mischievous & direct contrary to Wordsworths own Practise
TXTWWPoems; E665|
[PAGE 364] From what I saw with my own eyes, I knew that the
TXTWWPoems; E665|
imagery was spurious. In nature every thing is distinct, yet
TXTWWPoems; E665|
nothing defined into absolute independant singleness. In
TXTWWPoems; E665|
Macpherson's work, it is exactly the reverse; every thing (that
TXTWWPoems; E665|
is not stolen) is in this manner defined, insulated, dislocated,
TXTWWPoems; E665|
deadened,--yet nothing distinct. It will always be so when words
TXTWWPoems; E665|
are substituted for things. . . . Yet, much as these pretended
TXTWWPoems; E665|
treasures of antiquity have been admired. . . .
AnnWWPoems; E665|
I Believe both Macpherson & Chatterton, that what they
AnnWWPoems; E665|
say is Ancient, Is so
TXTWWPoems; E666|
[PAGE 365] . . . no Author in the least distinguished, has
TXTWWPoems; E666|
ventured formally to imitate them-- except the Boy, Chatterton,
TXTWWPoems; E666|
on their first appearance.
AnnWWPoems; E666|
I own myself an admirer of Ossian equally with any other
AnnWWPoems; E666|
Poet whatever Rowley & Chatterton also

[PAGE 375, final paragraph] . . . if [the Writer] were not
TXTWWPoems; E666|
persuaded that the Contents of these Volumes . . . evinced
TXTWWPoems; E666|
something of the "Vision and the Faculty divine," . . . he would
TXTWWPoems; E666|
not, if a wish could do it, save them from immediate
TXTWWPoems; E666|
destruction.
AnnWWPoems; E666|
It appears to me as if the last Paragraph beginning With "Is
AnnWWPoems; E666|
it the result" Was writ by another hand & mind from the rest of
AnnWWPoems; E666|
these Prefaces. Perhaps they are the opinions of Sr G Beaumont

Imagination is the Divine Vision not of The
AnnWWPoems; E666|
World nor of Man nor from Man as he is a Natural Man but only as
AnnWWPoems; E666|
he is a Spiritual Man Imagination has nothing to do with Memory
