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: -So Eliot rejects the theory of poetry of Wordsworth. He declares that “emotions recollected in tranquility” is an inexact formula. He points out that in the process of poetic composition, there is neither emotion, nor recollection, nor tranquility.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
