"The World is Too Much With Us" definitely has to be my favorite poem. I completely agree with Wordsworth's message. We as humans tend to take the beauty of nature for granted as seen through his comparison of a storm to flowers being nonchalantly plucked. Another point Wordworth makes that I agree with is we use our power over all other life on earth negligently. Rather than preserve the home that has been given to us we decimate ecosystems to build cities and wipe out entire species in the process.
I commented on Daniel Stephens post.
I blogged about this poem as well and I have to agree with everything you are saying, there is a lot of unfortunate truth in this poem.
