Detailed explanation-1: -“Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility.” This quote by William Wordsworth defines poetry as the expression of emotions that a regular conversation would not be able to project.
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: -For Wordsworth, poetry, which should be written in “the real language of men, ” is nevertheless “the spontaneous overflow of feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility.”
