Tintern Abbey
William Wordsworth existed in a time when society and its functions were beginning to rapidly pick up. The poem, “A Few Lines Composed a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey, on Revisiting the Banks of the Wye…”, which is published in the Lyrical Ballads, gave him a chance to reflect upon his quick paced life by taking a moment to slow down and absorb the beauty of nature that allows one to see life in all things. Wordsworth’s “Tintern Abbey” uses the dramatic monologue, a poem in which the poet or speaker is addressing a listener who never speaks but is referred to, in order to take you on a series of emotional states by trying to sway himself, his sister, and eventually his readers. The loss of innocence and intensity over time is compensated by gathering knowledge and insight. Wordsworth proves that although time was lost along with his innocence, he in turn was able to gain an appreciation for the aesthetics that consoled him by incorporating all together, the wonders of nature, his past experiences, and his present mature perception of life. At the beginning of the poem, the reader gets a visual image of the pastoral settings that Wordsworth describes: “These waters, rolling from their mountain-springs/With a soft inland murmur”
