The World is Too Much With Us is a sonnet written when Wordsworth was 32 years old and is the perfect example of his message about the insensibility of man towards the beauty of nature.

The story introduces Madeline in the seventh stanza as the virginal‚ maiden who is lost in daydreams of what awaits her when she goes to bed.
