Having been inspired by many cases reported by Erasmus Darwin, he composed his great poems. He wrote this relationship in the Preface to Lyrical Ballads: stimulate and enlarge that inherent capability of the human mind and so become to believe in that human power and devote himself to fostering it. Wordsworth's poetry "Begins in delight and ends in delight” Wordsworth recognized here the capability of the human mind, so he repeated the words “inherent and indestructible qualities”.
