It was refreshing to read these poems
after the many mind-boggling texts we have read in recent weeks. I love poetry
and nature, so Wordsworth was like a dream come true. I especially love the
poem “The World Is Too Much with Us.” In this poem, Wordsworth’s words make me
want to reevaluate my life and change it, perhaps for the better. He reminds me
to slow down and enjoy the beauty in the nature around me. Too often we get so
caught up in the world of “getting and spending” and forget to simply
appreciate and give thanks for the things we have in the moment.
I commented on Gaston Jones' post.
I agree with you, Delaney. "The World is Too Much with Us" struck me hard as very relatable, and now I see things in a new light. I want to change. I think that we all get so caught up in the shiny things of the world that we lose focus on what is important. Wordsworth reminds us in his poems, especially this one, that beauty is all around us in nature and in the simple things.
