Lines Written a Few Miles above Tintern Abbey

For this particular poem, I decided to use wordle and see what it would throw back at me. As I look at the many words, I see two main categories. One of the categories deals with people and the other with nature. Words such as, life, mind, years, thoughts, eye, power, heart, joy, and spirit, all deal with people. These words mainly focus on an individual's inner being, mind, and emotions. Then there are those words like, landscape, nature, green, woods, world, and of course the word 'wild' which as was discussed in the beginning of the semester is a very significant word in nature. These words all relate to the world and nature. What I see through this is that there is a deep connection between humanity and nature. These are the main words of Wordsworth's poem, and the poem connects them. There is a bond between humanity and the natural world. We are united; we work together as one force. The picture of Tintern Abbey below also does a great job showing nature and humanity are one. The scenery is so beautiful - the "wild green landscape", the luscious woods, the deep river, etc. And in addition to that, there are signs of humanity, symbolized by the small houses and cabins. Both aspects combined produce such a strong, powerful reflection of the world. We the people (humanity) are surrounded by nature from every side and we rely on it to expand our knowledge of the world, to teach us, and so on. We may not even realize that our thoughts are based on nature; as soon as we step out the door, we are exposed to the power and beauty of nature and that opens up our minds, thoughts, and emotions.
