There are two kinds of Poems in Wordsworth's Poetry: the poems of the static, and the poems of dynamic.In this paper my attention is focussed on the states of Wordsworth's mind.I began by studying the general dispositions of the human beings about their impulses.Next to this, I proceeded to the historical records of the distinguished Scholars, whose ways of thinking have had the enormous effects on those of the people all over the world.They are Parmenides, Heracleitus, Platon, Seneca, Cicero, Ptolemy, and Scholastic philosophers.For the purpose of presenting Wordsworth's static mind, I introduced We Are Seven, Anecdote for Fathers, The Sailor's Mother, Solitary Reaper, and Michael.The characters in the poems are the typical figures in the state of changelessness in their life.It seems that Wordsworth praised those types of apatheia.However, Wordsworth valued the development and the becoming of his mind, which he tried to show by means of several poems.These poems are Tintern Abbey, Ode to Duty, and Elegiac Stanzas Suggested by a Picture of Peele Castle, in a Storm.While he was comparing the past with the present, he lamented for the loss of aching joys for a while but he rested assured because much compensations came in the place of the losses.These compensations are the power of recollection, the mystic power to see into things, the power to follow Duty's Voice, and the empathetic experience through which he could share the sad music of humanity with the sufferers.
