In the apostrophe to 'imagination In The Prelude, Book 6, a multileveled usurpation occurs which challenges the rhetorical foundation of Wordsworth's peom. The force of will exhibited in this passage is a pradoxical combination of actively exerted power and effortlessness, forced interruption and passively suffered usurpation, in which both the agent and the object of usurpation are put into question. The essential trope in this gesture is the anomalous figure of catachresis, whose uneasy place in eighteenth-century rehtorical classifications resulted from its combination of absolute prpriety and absolute impropriety. For Wordsworth, this trope reveals the paradoxical connection between the powerful ground of the imagination's proper being and the abyss of loss and impropriety which threatens the imaginative will.
