So he thought poetry was for the common man, and wanted to use everyday words in his works? From Immortality:

The cataracts blow their trumpets from the steep;

My head hath its coronal,

Perpetual benediction: not indeed

As to the tabor's sound!


Is this the origin of the splendor in the grass movie?

Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower

Yes, that's the origin of the title of the movie "Splendour in the Grass." (I can say this with authority because, after a quick search of the phorum, it seems that Ilza, Desi, and Chesil have said so over the years!)
