Lyrical Ballads Audiobook

" I must say I prefer Wordsworth's contributions to Coleridge's. "

" What hasn't been said about Wordsworth? "

" While we studied Wordsworth and Coleridge at the University I deeply hated their works. Every time I had to analyze some piece of writing I was at a loss, but after we were through with the Romaticism classes I found a copy of the Lyrical Ballads translated in Bulgarian by a student in my University who has recently graduated (or I think so) and edited by my professor. Therefore, I thought it would give me another perspective of the Lyrical Ballads. Needless to say, I loved it :) "

" Always fun to see how century old perspectives still apply to today. "

" As a reader who also happens to be engaged with modernist writers, I would say that romantic poetry appears elementary. That said, the works are exquisite and I am glad to have gotten this perspective. "

" Although I like nature, which Wordsworth goes on about ad infinitem, I found Wordsworth himself to be rather bossy, which diminished my enjoyment of his writings. "

" The Rime of the Ancient Maryner is one of the best poems I've ever read. The rest of the book is pretty awesome, but still I prefer Coleridge to Wordsworth. "

" A very strange collection. I don't really see the links between the poems, or why they form a collection at all. "

" Romantics just ain't really my dig. "

" I kind of got into it after one of my classmates (who is also named John but who is sexier than me) told me what Wordsworth was trying to do with time and space and death. But it is still totally not my style. "

" Of course these are wonderful. If only he'd died a little younger, like a good lyric poet . . . "

" I don't know...I can just totally relate to having bearded men with anochronistic accents and smokey-pale eyes coming up to me at weddings and going on and on about some bird they shot then wore around their neck. It's like I was 22 all over again. "

" I love the beauty of the imagery that only Wordsworth in capable of. "

" Well as much of it as I need to. Still less painful than The Prelude. "

" William Wordsworth is my new hero. "

" Perhaps I'll write more later. "

" Some high notes (Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Nightingale, a few others). A very nice read for when you can sit outside with nothing to do for a while. "

" The insecure, oft-forgot poetical wanderings of Coleridge still trumping the turncoat Wordsworth. "

" This one is embarrassing for me. I read this in college and smugly thought Wordsworth to be a lightweight. What a joke. He's up there with the best. The calm and honest tone of many of the poems wasn't suited to my overwrought (and dishonest) 20 year old soul. "

" Wow. "Tintern Abbey" is such a fantastic poem. The others are only okay. "

" I had to read some of the poems for uni and I decided to read them all. The poems included in this collection were all beautifully done :) Some of my favourites include "We Are Seven" and "Lines left upon a Seat in a Yew-tree." "

" an all time classic every educated person should read "

" I know it's a crime for an English major, but I can't stand the Romantic poets. "

" I've finally read some Wordsworth! Some of these poems were absolutely lovely, but I still much prefer Keats and Tennyson. "
