Wordsworth has a common theme of nature scattered throughout all of these poems. He definitely admires nature's beauty. I have gathered a central lesson from Wordsworth that sometimes, you just need to stop running through life from one thing to another. You need a break. You need rest. In that time of rest, you can ponder or daydream as mentioned in "I Wandered as a Lonely Cloud." You may want to stop to appreciate a figure or seek counsel from leaders of the past like in "London: 1802." Maybe you should take the time to dismiss the bright, shiny things the world throws in your face and simply admire nature's beauty like in "The World is Too Much with Us." "The Tables Turned" may encourage you to look beyond every day routines and look at what the world and nature have to teach. Overall, Wordsworth's pensive poems have helped me to look beyond everything buzzing by so fast in life and rest for a moment to enjoy the beautiful simplicity of nature.
