The Lucy poems [SEP] Introduction
Most critics agree that she is essentially a literary device upon whom he could project, meditate and reflect. The "Lucy poems" consist of "Strange fits of passion have I known", "She dwelt among the untrodden ways", "I travelled among unknown men", "Three years she grew in sun and shower", and "A slumber did my spirit seal". Although they are presented as a series in modern anthologies, Wordsworth did not conceive of them as a group, nor did he seek to publish the poems in sequence. He described the works as "experimental" in the prefaces to both the 1798 and 1800 editions of "Lyrical Ballads", and revised the poems significantly—shifting their thematic emphasis—between 1798 and 1799.
