'Frost at Midnight.' I plan to discuss the similar and divergent ways in which

both poets accomplish this, looking at form, content and context.

Wordsworth's Tintern Abbey has been described as a tourist poem in which the centre of attraction, the famous ruined abbey is out of sight a few miles downstream. A nature poem in which, after the first paragraph, there are almost no images of nature; a political poem in which most of the speaker's political, social and economic beliefs lie unexpressed between the lines; a religious poem in which what seems to be an unassisted contact with pantheism (for example, 'we are laid asleep/ In body, and become a living soul...[and] see into the life of things,' ll. 45-49) which is soberly, even logically, explained in terms of tourist postcard chit-chat ('How oft, in spirit, have I turned to thee, / O sylvan Wye' ll. 55-56).

Wordsworth brings about his memory of Tintern Abbey, by revisiting the place, and recollecting the sounds sights and senses of his first visit.

Of sportive wood run wild; these pastoral farms
