world is too much with us
In William Wordsworth’s “The World Is Too Much with Us”, Wordsworth reproves society for losing sight of what is truly important. ... No one stops to appreciate the natural world because he is so busy with “getting and spending. ... The mystery of God, and the unseen world, once revealed to us in the universe, now means nothing. ... The unseen world and the cosmic oversoul mean nothing, because it does not make sense in this unfeeling existence.
