Description
William Wordsworth's Immortality Ode tells us about his spiritual crisis and his recovery from it. The poem indicates that his critical situation results from his awareness that he can not share gladness any more with other creatures around him. His recovery from the crisis is, therefore, expected to be made when he can experience gladness once more. The expression referring to his recovery- "We in thought will join your throng,..../Ye that through your hearts to-day/Feel the gladness of the May !"- indicates a crucial role which "thought" plays in leading Wordsworth to his recovery. The purpose of this paper is not only to clarify the reason for his inability to share gladness with other creatures, but to examine how "thought" enables him to overcome his spiritual crisis. In addition, it will be made clear by this study that it is also "thought" that leads Wordsworth to realize a symbolical meaning presented by Nature.
