Wordswoth in Nature
The beautiful landscapes of the lake district inspired the young Wordsworth .
Nature is a common theme that can be
found in many of his poems
The RainbowMy heart leaps up when I
behold A rainbow in the sky:
So was it when my life began; So is it now I am a man;
So be it when I shall grow old, Or let me die!
The Child is father of the Man; I could wish my days to be
Bound each to each by natural piety.
William Wordsworth
In 1791 he visited France. There he fell in love with a French women Annet Vallon. And they had a child Caroline

“She was a Phantom of delight
When first she gleamed upon my sight;
A lovely Apparition, sent
To be a moment's ornament;
Her eyes as stars of Twilight fair;
Like Twilight's, too, her dusky hair;”

Wordsworth greatsorrow. His poem,
“Surprised ByJoy,” reflects his
anguish.
“…That thought's return
Was the worst pang that sorrow ever bore,
Save one, one only, when I stood forlorn,
Knowing my heart's best treasure was no more;
That neither present time, nor years unborn
Could to my sight that heavenly face restore.”
