It starts with the familiar question of “Whither is fled the visionary gleam?”Assuredly, Wordsworth makes a point of singing those things ‘he has seen, but he can see no more.’ This gives a typical epitaphic posture to much of his poetry, which puts ‘a stone’ as a proper means of communication both literally and figurally.This paper reads some poems, such as “Danish Boy”, “The Ruined Cottage”, and Lucy Poems, in the hope of examining how stony words, or ‘words as things’ resonate meaning in the text to grasp ‘flashes’, which were already fled from the poet's eyes.Muteness and repetitions of similar expressions are reciprocated in the process of reading ‘life’ from ‘death’ and vice versa. This kind of powerful, though paradoxical, ‘voice’ of stony ‘things’ is always posited in the middle of his poetic recognition of ‘gleam’, which hopes to earn a new existence as poetic creation.
