The goal of the poem is to demonstrate his fitness to produce great poetry, and The Prelude itself becomes evidence of that fitness."[4] It traces the growth of the poet's mind by stressing the mutual consciousness and spiritual communion between the world of nature and man. ^ Wordsworth, William (1850), "The Prelude or, Growth of a Poet's Mind; An Autobiographical Poem", Internet Archive (1 ed.), London: Edward Moxon, Dover Street, retrieved 16 June 2016	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-5044.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-5044.txt
