I believe the work (critical, poetical, and moral) put into the “Lyrical Ballads” is in my opinion more interesting and important than the work “Lyrical Ballads.” Evidently, there are many memorable poems but what’s more memorable than Wordsworth’s extensive Preface and desires for his work and defining the relationship between reader and poetry. Definitely worth reading contextually and in regards to critical responses, as well as comparing the two different edition of 1798 and 1800 – an exercise for each critic, and avid poetry lover and consumer. The artist’s work never ends.

“Those we love never truly leave us, Harry. There are things that death cannot touch.” 

“In every shining moment of happiness is that drop of poison: the knowledge that pain will come again. Be honest to those you love, show your pain. To suffer is as human as to breathe.”
