Wordsworth had a belief that poetic style should be as simple and sincere as the language of everyday life, and that the more the poet draws on elemental feelings and primal simplicities the better for his art. He advocated the use of simple language in poetry. He said that poetry should be written in a “language really used by men in humble and rustic’’. He set himself to the task of freeing poetry from all its “conceits” and its “inane phraseology”. He made certain very effective and striking experiments in the use of simple language.
