William Wordsworth deals with a very contemporary issue in his poem „The world is too much with us…”‚ which is kind of surprising‚ because the author of this poem lived in the 19th century and it seems that back then people had already realized that human beings are destroying Earth and they take nature for granted. I guess Wordsworth wrote this poem to try making people aware of their actions and its outcomes. The speaker of this poem is a lyrical I‚ as you can see in line 11 where the poet

"Lines Written in Early Spring‚" by William Wordsworth‚ sets the tone within the title. The thought of early spring brings new life and harmony to the mind of the reader.

He "heard a thousand blended notes" of birds singing and the world blooming around him‚ thoughts of Bambi are brought to mind. Spring‚ for me‚ creates a feeling of joy‚ and I think it is the best of

For my second test I choose the poem "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" by William Wordsworth because I like the imagery in it of the dancing daffodils. After reading the poem many times I had realized that most of this imagery is produced by the many metaphors and similes. In the first line‚ Wordsworth says "I wandered lonely as a cloud." This is a simile comparing the wondering of a man to a cloud drifting through the sky. I think that the wandering cloud is lonely because there is nothing else that

Group One: " I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" by William Wordsworth I WANDERED lonely as a cloud That floats on high o’er vales and hills‚ When all at once I saw a crowd‚ A host‚ of golden daffodils; Beside the lake‚ beneath the trees‚ Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. Continuous as the stars that shine And twinkle on the milky way‚ They stretched in never-ending line Along the margin of a bay: 10 Ten thousand saw I at a glance‚ Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

After reading "The World Is Too Much With Us” by William Wordsworth there are a multitude of themes that strike me as relevant to our current society. Themes of modernization‚ isolationism and sadness open up a dialog to the human condition. The speaker takes a stance that demonstrates that the world has many beautiful qualities‚ but because we have become too distracted‚ too numb‚ we simply do not appreciate those qualities. Our society is so immersed in the materialistic world that we forget to
