Wordsworth captured the entire poem with the title. He presents the beauty of nature as an everyday experience that is currently being taken for granted. However, Wordsworth's way of expressing this is by allowing himself to step out of the picture and perceive nature as an onlooker. The world is described vividly however the beauty of the world is all around but the title gives implications that we are not in accordance with the world.He acknowledges the fact that there is great power in the beauty of nature but we overlook the amount of beauty that is right in front of our eyes.
"The world is too much with us; late and soon,Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers;Little we see in Nature that is ours;We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon!"
I also infered that Wordsworth believes that wealth has a major roll in the way that we perceive the beauty of the world. I believe that simplicity has an effect on the way that nature. By accepting nature with all of our senses then we hear and feel all aspects that nature has to offer us.

Simone,
ReplyDeleteGood focus on a particular poem to discuss, and a good quotation to analyze. Be sure to treat poetry as different than prose, though, when you quote it. Don't run all the lines together, as you do here, but use slashes to indicate line breaks in a short quotation (1–3 lines long) and separate lines for each line in long quotations (4 or more lines long). You quote four lines here, but don't even have spaces to separate them.
The final paragraph becomes very confusing to me. You need to provide textual examples to support and illustrate your assertions. Those examples can both clarify your point to your reader, and help you get deeper insights.
