    Time and the Sublime in William Wordsworth’s Poetry

    JOURNAL ARTICLE

    Author: Athanasius Ako Ayuk

    Keywords: consciousness, sublime, memory

    Abstract: This paper examines the portrayal of Nature as a divine essence in Wordsworth’s work, exploring its relationship with humanity and the intricate connections between time, consciousness, and the sublime as depicted in select poems. Wordsworth’s poetic output consistently reveals his acute awareness of the passage of time and his recognition of the sublime qualities inherently present in the natural world. He perceives time as the catalyst for consciousness, positioning nature as the essential link in this dynamic relationship. Through his poetry, Wordsworth articulates how the flow of time heightens human self-awareness and appreciation of nature’s sublimity, ultimately making Nature the linchpin that unites time and consciousness.
