Books are the definition of life, there are interesting books and others which aren’t so interesting to a person. There could a few bad chapters in a book but there will also be a few great chapters.

In sixteen quatrains Wordsworth uses the form of his ballad to express his opinions on topics such as the contrast between maturity and childlike innocence, spirituality, the relationship between life death regarding their connection with joy.
