Detailed explanation-1: -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.”
Detailed explanation-2: -A poet not only has a more ‘lively sensibility’, a ‘more comprehensive soul’, and greater powers of imagination, he is also a man who has thought long and deep. He does not create on the spur of the moment, but contemplates and reflects in tranquility till he, “passions anew”, and it is then that creation begins.
Detailed explanation-3: -Wordsworth repeatedly emphasizes the importance of nature to an individual’s intellectual and spiritual development.

Detailed explanation-4: -Wordsworth defines a poet in the following lines: He is a man speaking to men: a man, it is true, endowed with more lively sensibility, more enthusiasm and tenderness, who has a greater knowledge of human nature, and a more comprehensive soul, than are supposed to common among mankind.
