Detailed explanation-1: -Wordsworth believes that artistic composition is a combination of thought and emotion. During the poetic process, the poet is possessed by powerful passions but he undergoes a period of emotions recollected in tranquility. During this process the influxes of feelings are modified and directed by thoughts.
Detailed explanation-2: -The second one is the recollection of the emotion “in tranquility”. This entails the recollection and the contemplation of the emotional experience, which seems to require some reflective distancing from the emotion itself.
Detailed explanation-3: -Eliot believes that the poet is a medium of expression. The poet must be objective in his poetic creation. So Eliot rejects the theory of poetry of Wordsworth. He declares that “emotions recollected in tranquility” is an inexact formula.
Detailed explanation-4: -Wordsworth maintains that the language of poetry is selection of the real language of men. Coleridge argues that everyone’s language varies according to the extent of his knowledge, the activities of his faculties and the depth and quickness of his feelings.
