"I finally finished The Prelude for the first time through, but I will be reading it again for class in the next few weeks. I'm hoping a second reading will be helpful and give me a greater appreciation for the poem. I really disliked reading this poem because of the blank verse and its long, complicated sentences until Book XI of the 1805 version. I read the last three Books this evening and they gave me a greater appreciation for Wordsworth's project than I initially had. The last three Books really attempt to explain why he wanted to write The Prelude and what he was hoping to achieve. I realize that there are moments of this kind of revelation throughout the entire poem, but it is not as prevalent as it is in the last three Books. I feel like I can't really talk about Wordsworth critically because the poem is so complicated and I haven't quite established a vocabulary to discuss it yet, but I'm hoping that the outside reading I plan to do will help me with this. However, I can say as far as content goes, I really appreciate Wordsworth's all encompassing faith in humanity, and his belief that man can render anything as beautiful even in the most dismal of times; reflection allows us to find meaning and beauty in everything."
"Finally done with this one, and I can't say I'm unhappy. Did I like it? Not sure I can answer that one. I had to read it so fast that I can't say the density of Wordsworth's thought penetrated too deeply. He is still one of my favorite poets, and I've been looking to take this on for a long time, but I'm glad it's over. I will definitely be returning to a few of its chapters, especially the early ones."
"Very Difficult,very rewarding in that it is so expansive and detailed that it opened up great vistas that I'd never thought about before. I suppose the poem can be viewed as tedious or self-interested but that's why he became the poet laureate of England."
