Similarly, William Wordsworth had said that poetry should come from " emotions recollected in tranquility " ( Preface to Lyrical Ballads, emphasis added ).

Wordsworth himself in the Preface to his and Coleridge's Lyrical Ballads defined good poetry as “ the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings ,” though in the same sentence he goes on to clarify this statement by asserting that nonetheless any poem of value must still be composed by a man “ possessed of more than usual organic sensibility has also thought long and deeply ;” he also emphasises the importance of the use of meter in poetry ( which he views as one of the key features that differentiates poetry from prose ).

In the Western tradition, all these elements were thought of as properly different in poetry and prose up to the time of the Romantic revolution, when William Wordsworth challenged the distinction in his Romantic manifesto, the Preface to the second ( 1800 ) edition of Lyrical Ballads ( 1798 ).
