I bought Lyrical Ballads 1798 + 1802 and the poems are cool and good, but I especially like the essay bits where Wordsworth talks about why he feels all the contemporary poetry that isn't him and COleridge is a big steaming turd that is just copying old things that have become poetical and calling it poetry, rather than writing things that are actually good and normal people can relate to. He gets annoyed at a poem that describes a bell as "church-going".
