Perhaps Wordsworth goes well with age. For some 50 years I saw found his work quite easy to ignore, but eight years ago on a whim I picked up the Norton edition of The Prelude off the shelf a Barnes & Noble, and on another whim two years ago began to read that poem in the 1805 text. I was and remain enraptured.
You’re inspiring me to go back. I loved The Prelude when I read it in college, but I’ve barely looked at it in 30 years. I think I will now. Beats reading the latest research note from the New York Fed.
