=== Wordsworth's poetic philosophy ===

He had reversed the philosophical standpoint expressed by his friend [[Samuel Taylor Coleridge|S. T. Coleridge]], of 'creating the characters in such an environment so that the public feels them belonging to the distant place and time'. And this philosophical realisation by Wordsworth indeed allowed him to choose the language and structural patterning of the poetry that a common person used every day.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Doolittle |first=James |date=1969-12-01 |title=The Demonic Imagination: Style and Theme in French Romantic Poetry. |url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1215/00267929-30-4-615 |journal=Modern Language Quarterly |volume=30 |issue=4 |pages=615–617 |doi=10.1215/00267929-30-4-615 |issn=0026-7929}}</ref> Kurland wrote that the conversational aspect of a language emerges through social necessity.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Dan Kurland's www.criticalreading.com -- Strategies for Critical Reading and Writing |url=http://www.criticalreading.com/ |access-date=2022-06-23 |website=www.criticalreading.com}}</ref> Social necessity posits the theme of possessing the proper knowledge, interest and biases also among the speakers. William Wordsworth has used conversation in his poetry to let the poet 'I' merge into 'We'. The poem "Farewell" exposes the identical emotion that the poet and his sister nourish:

"We leave you here in solitude to dwell/ With these our latest gifts of tender thought; 

Thou, like the morning, in thy saffron coat,/ Bright gowan, and marsh-marigold, farewell!" (L.19–22). 

This kind of conversational tone persists throughout the poet's poetic journey, which positions him as a man in society who speaks to the purpose of communion with the very common mass of that society.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Ahmed |first=Sheikh Saifullah |date=2020-01-01 |title=The Sociolinguistic Perspectives of the Stylistic Liberation of Wordsworth |url=https://www.academia.edu/44328447 |journal=Sparkling International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research Studies}}</ref> Again; ''"Preface to Lyrical Ballads"'' is the evidence where the poet expresses why he is writing and what he is writing and what purpose it will serve humanity.
