3. Two Cardinal Points of Poetry
1. The power of exciting the sympathy of the
reader by a faithful adherence to the truth of
nature.
2. The power of giving the interest of novelty by
modifying with the colours of imagination.
4. First cardinal point
❖ According to Coleridge, Wordsworth would be use first
cardinal point as theme of his poetry.
❖ As a view points of Coleridge, should be the treatment
and subject matter in his poetry, as he qouted,
“ The sudden charm, which accidents of light and shade,
which moon-light or sun-set diffused over a known and
familiar landscape, combining both. These are the poetry
of nature.”
5. ❖ In this type of poem,
subjects were to be taken
from ordinary life;the
characters and incidents
were to be like, as will be
found in every village and
it's rustic lives, where there
we can find meditative and
feeling mind to read and
seek after them, when they
present themselves.
6. Second cardinal point
❖ The second cardinal point emphasizes on the element,
supernatural.
❖ In this type of poetry, Coleridge qouted as,
“The excellence aimed was that to consist in the
interesting of the affection by the dramatic truth of such
emotions as would naturally accompany such situations,
supposing them real, in the sense evey human being's
source of delusion believed himself under supernatural
agency.”
7. ❖ Thus with the help of
imagination the nature
will be work
supernaturally by the
poet and the reader will
comprehend between
facts and these types of
imaginative supernatural
elements“willing
suspension of
disbelief”.
8. Wordsworth & Coleridge
❖ The Lyrical Ballads consists of poems dealing with these
two cardinal points.
❖ Coleridge was to follow second cardinal point, deal with
“person’s and character’s supernatural”.
❖ Wordsworth “ Was to follow first cardinal point by
giving the charm of novelty to things of every day’s
custom, and directing it to the loveliness and the
wonders of the world before us”.
