and all it can teach him, that when he starts to lose this youthful view of things, he feels as though this large chunk of his life is starting to fade away. Despite this, Wordsworth does not begrudge the passing of time, as seen in his poem “Tintern Abbey” where he thinks about how five years have passed since he last saw the location and how everything is not the same as he remembers it, that he himself is different. Yet, he still thinks of how fondly he remembers the location and how he will…

The viewer sees what he wishes to see, as Wordsworth initially saw the castle as a divine treasure-­‐house, worthy of the sweetest sunbeams. This idea echoes a similar theme in “Lines Composed a Few Miles over Tintern Abbey,” where Wordsworth praises the “mighty world of eye and ear – both what they half create and what perceive; well pleased to recognize in nature and the language of the sense the anchor of my purest thoughts…” In these lines, he brings up the concept…

although the passing of time itself is not portrayed negatively- it is simply observed as something that must occur. This theme similarly resonates through Wordsworth’s ‘Tintern Abbey’. In this poem, we see Wordsworth lament about the ‘long absence’ and the ‘five years passed’ since Wordsworth had seen the landscapes surrounding the abbey. The similarities between their treatment of nature as an ephemeral entity may be considered, therefore, indicative of Wordsworth exercising his influence…

It is from William Wordsworth’s poem “Lines Composed a Few Miles above Tintern Abbey.” This quote describes the way he feels in the past five years. He has deep memory of “beauteous forms” – not like a blind man who cannot imagine the view fully. It is important because it shows the connection between nature and man’s…

circumstances. The role of memory plays an important and interesting part in both of these poets’ works. Memory is a very powerful thing, one which leaves us in awe.
