A Mini Biography of William Wordsworth

Known as one of the most successful romantic poets born in England, William Wordsworth has left his unchangeably tasteful memory running in our hearts and souls forever till the day we breathe our last.

This skillful man was gifted to the world by John and Anne Wordsworth as their second child on 7th April 1770 in Cumberland. William was lucky to be the loving brother to 4 siblings. When he was a child he was in love with the princess called nature...he played, sang with her and wholeheartedly loved her, later on becoming a romantic nature loving poet inspired by this beautiful lover. Being blessed by such a wonderful sweet love, this young soul was not lucky enough to have the love of their parents till adulthood as they died when he was very young.

After their death William was sent to a school in Lake District where he studied mathematics, and classical literature. Later on he entered the University of Cambridge, but he did not agree with the competitiveness which made him see education as a battle. The next years of his education was spent in France, where he started an affair with a woman called Annette Vallon who gave birth to his illegitimate daughter, Caroline in 1792. Due to the war between England and France, he returned to London, leaving his family in France.

The time he spent in London was like eating bitter grapes for him. With no income he entertained himself by writing poetry about poverty, tortured London and of mothers and children on the streets and of Mother Nature. After joining with his sister, Dorothy his interest of writing poetry on nature was much more inspired. But his poetry took the form of melancholy when his loving brother left the world forever. The Ode: Intimations of immorality best describes his grieving heart and soul.

In 1843, his poetry which were yet unknown to the readers worldwide, became known internationally after being employed as Britain's official poet laureate. In 1850 he left the world forever making the readers worldwide crying for the great loss. He is known as the founder of The Romantic Movement.

William Wordsworth, as golden as a daffodil, as pure as glacial water and as caring as a chaste lover is not a soul that can be compared to anyone else who had an incalculable love for nature.
