He doubts, for just a moment, whether this thought about the influence of the nature is vain, but he can’t go on. The third section contains a kind of doubt the poet is probably reflecting the reader’s possible doubts so that he can go on to justify how he is right and what he means. In nature he finds the sad music of humanity. The tall rock, the mountain and the deep and gloomy wood were then to him like an appetite. In the past the soundings haunted him like a passion. On his first visit to this place he bounded over the mountains by the sides of the deep rivers and the lovely streams. He is reminded of the pictures of the past visit and ponders over his future years. He concentrates attention to Sylvan Wye – a majestic and worth seeing river.

The beatings of his heart are full of the fire of nature’s love. He feels high pleasure and deep power of joy in natural objects. He feels a sensation of love for nature in his blood. He has been the lover of nature form the core of his heart, and with purer mind. The poet studies nature with open eyes and imaginative mind. Wordsworth’s idea was that human beings are naturally uncorrupted. From this point onward Wordsworth begins to consider the sublime of nature, and his mystical awareness becomes clear. In hours of weariness, frustration and anxiety, these things of nature used to make him feel sweet sensations in his very blood, and he used to feel it at the level of the impulse (heart) rather than in his waking consciousness and through reasoning. They were not absent from his mind like form the mind of a man born blind. This vision has been “Felt in the blood, and felt alone the heart” that is. The poet now realizes that these ‘beauteous’ forms have always been with him, deep-seated in his mind, wherever he went. The second section begins with the meditation. These images evoke not only a pure nature as one might expect, they evoke a life of the common people in harmony with the nature. He can see the entirely natural cliffs and waterfalls he can see the hedges around the fields of the people and he can see wreaths of smoke probably coming from some hermits making fire in their cave hermitages. The view presented is a blend of wildness and order. The following lines develop a clear, visual picture of the scent. The poem opens with a slow, dragging rhythm and the repetition of the word ‘five’ all designed to emphasize the weight of time which has separated the poet from this scene. But it emphasizes the passage of time: five years have passed, five summers, five long winters… But when the poet is back to this place of natural beauty and serenity, it is still essentially the same. The first section establishes the setting for the meditation. The solitary place remands the poet of vagrant dwellers and hermits’ cave. This lonely place, the banks of the river and rolling waters from the mountain springs present a beautiful panoramic light. He is glad to see again hedgerows, sportive wood, pastoral farms and green doors. He has again come to the same place where there are lofty cliffs, the plots of cottage ground, orchards groves and copses. Tintern Abbey impressed him most when he had first visited this place. He got sensuous delight in it and it is all in all to him. There is Wordsworth’s realization of God in nature. Wordsworth has expressed his intense faith in nature. He is saying our experience of nature has an actual effect on the way behave.He has specially recollected his poetic idea of Tintern Abbey where he had gone first time in 1793.

On the best portion of a good man’s life, Wordsworth gives even more importance to the powers of nature when he says these experiences have an effect , She answered that she imagines the descent through the rough and tumbling waters again and again, living in her imagination every move, paddle stroke and turn she is going to make. A white water canoeist was interviewed yesterday morning and asked how she prepares for such a hazardous descent and how is she able to get the timing of her turns just right. Athletes have described how they use imagination to help them perform to the best of their ability. We are experiencing the Olympics at this moment. Athletes and sportspeople use this method too. Methods of meditation use memory and imagination in this way. We might describe these experiences as affecting us deeply or having a psychological influence or even providing a spiritual experience. He describes it as being “felt in the blood” and “along the heart.

Memory, imagination, recalling good sensations, becomes a sort of force that Wordsworth can use.
