Critiques

“The World is Too Much With Us”

This is a beautiful poem. I like the way in which Wordsworth portrays the speeding up of society’s pace. I agree with him in that people should slow down to look at nature. Wordsworth crafts his poem in such a way that a person cannot help but agree.

“Daffodils”

This passage emphasizes the beauty and calming effect of nature. Wordsworth describes the way he often daydreams of daffodils. I like the happy, positive light with which Wordsworth writes. Also, I like his focus on the beauty of nature.

“She was a Phantom of Delight”

In this poem, Wordsworth conveys beautifully the emotions he feels towards a lovely women. If only all love poems could be like this one. It is so simple, yet so deep. So loving, and so descriptive.

Famous Quotes

“Though nothing can bring back the hour

Of splendor in the grass, of glory in the flower;

We will grieve not, rather find

Strength in what remains behind;

In the primal sympathy

Which having been must ever be...”

"For oft, when on my couch I lie

In vacant or in pensive mood,

They flash upon that inward eye

Which is the bliss of solitude;

And then my heart with pleasure fills,

And dances with the daffodils.”

"She was a Phantom of delight

When first she gleam'd upon my sight;

A lovely Apparition, sent

To be a moment's ornament"

“The world is too much with us; late and soon,

Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers"
