William Wordsworth
William Wordsworth, one of the most important and revolutionary poets of the English romantic movement. Also the worlds greatest nature poets. Mathew Arnold, a critic, said, "Wordsworth's poetry os great because of the extraordinary power in which he feels the joy offered to us in nature...and because of the power in which he shows us this joy and renders it." William Wordsworth was born on April 7,1770. In Cockermouth, West Cumberland which is located in the northern part of England's Lake District. This specific area is known for the splendor of its natural landscape. Hawkshead Grammar School was the school the Wordsworth attended to. Before attending this school William had the unfortunate luck to lose his mother. That was a dramatic experience for Wordsworth due to fact that he was only eight years old. While attending this grammar school Wordsworth was staying on the household of Ann Tyson who allowed him the freedom to roam around the countryside. This freedom that he had came in handy. While Wordsworth would roam he began to get in touch with nature, which led to, "A deep affinity and love for nature and acquired vivid and lasting memories that later became the basis for some of his best poems."

"Lines Written in Early Spring" is a poem that attracted my attention, "and this my faith that every flower, enjoys the air it breathes." I see this quote as very true. I think that Wordsworth by saying this line, he thinks that everyone in the world must enjoy the air they breath. Each breath taken is a sign of life. Wordsworth used a flower not only because he loves nature, but because even in nature there are the few things that some take for granted, but nature enjoys the small things of life, especially that which gives life. To show Wordsworth's affection to nature in the poem, "To the Daisy". Goes straight forward to the point, "whole summer fields are thine by right; and autumn , melancholy night" this shows that Wordsworth would like to be in the fields when it is was summer. He felt like he owned his summers when he would be outside and the sun would shine on him. It also said that Autumn is like a person or creature who is depressed or said. By this quote we can sense that summer was Wordsworth favorite season. It also quotes, " proud be the rose, with rains and dews her head impacting." This line shows that nature can make nature happy. By that the rain makes the rose be a part of, and with nature it makes itself happy. That every thing is connected, and nature relies on itself to make it feel joy. His joy is nature he feels its presence everywhere for the sunrise to the shining stars at night and even when the clouds cover the sun and it rains. From the air that he breathes to grass fields that he walks on. He becomes at one with nature, so much at one that he even becomes to see plants as beings and talks to them and expresses himself to them. He loves nature so much that at one point a he is in touch with nature so well that he feels part of it and in return he feels a part of nature. He does in a simple expressing of emotions to a plain daisy, that to him no longer is seen has plant but as almost in sense as a person. Most of Wordsworth poems are of nature and the way he feel about. He expresses his feelings towards nature. His poems, "Reflect his strong eye for nature and his general moral sensitivity." Wordsworth does not only write poems about nature. In the poem, " To my Sister" it sounds that this poem has nothing to do with nature, but it still has some form analogy with nature, while talking to his sister he use nature in any form in order to express human emotion, "there is a blessing in the air, which seeks a sense of joy to yield to the bare trees, and the grass in the green fields." His sister was such an inspiration to him that he can express his emotion with the thing he loves most, n
