ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book discusses visionary forms sensations and scene have become so loaded with ambivalent meanings that Wordsworth achieved with the simplest of verbal gestures, an effect of surprising complexity and power. His language in The Prelude and elsewhere embodies a more subtle play of mind than is usually conceded even by his admirers. The Prelude such passages are particularly easy to found. It begins by noting a curious omission in the tabulation of the various meanings of image and imagery in the OED. The book is the list of definitions under image, with examples where relevant: An artificial imitation or representation of the external form of any object, especially of a person, a statue, effigy, sculptured figure. A likeness, portrait, picture, carving, or the like, applied to the constellations. It discussed vivid or graphic description, a simile and metaphor.
