Words with Hidden Values ​​Words can be used for many things such as describing, representing, or disguising a person's thoughts or ideas. In a lyrical ballad called Strange Fits of Passion I Have Known by Williamworth, he does a great job of using different words to express many thoughts and ideas. That's why poetry is used as freedom of expression. Any poet can use wordplay to create and inspire readers to think and dig deep for a certain meaning or purpose. Wordsworth, I thought it was very beautiful to use words to create a meaning other than what the words actually meant. His words, if looked at closely, could have meant a million and one different things. But only in the Lover's ear, What happened to me once. (Wordsworth 3,4) These few lines in the first stanza of his poem are quite basic and don't give you much to think about. They give the beginning to the poem and the basic tone or idea. Line three could represent some sort of secret that only one would tell to someone they truly love or trust. In the fourth line it is stated that he had been entrusted with some sort of secret. The lines of the second verse get a little more creative and give some good starting ideas. When she whom I loved seemed every day Fresh as a rose in June, I for her the cottage bent towards me, under an evening moon. (Wordsworth 5-8) These lines are where the reader can now start to get creative and come up with possible ideas about what Worth is trying to say. It's pretty obvious that the first two lines are about how beautiful this girl Worth is in love with is. Then I'm interested in the next two lines. The idea I came up with was that Worth was away from his mistress doing something, but suddenly for some reason he had to drop what he was doing and go to her. I was able to think about these things because “I headed towards his house” means he had to change what he was doing. So by "Under an evening moon" it could mean that he was in a hurry as he travels at night and couldn't wait for the morning. By the fourth verse I got a little more creative with Worth's wordplay.
