Growing Up With Nature – William Wordsworth’s “Nutting”

Touch-for there is spirit in the woods. That small extr displace from William Wordsworths Nutting represents very well the paper by dint of surface the songs I will look at, the theme of g boat up with temperament and how nature teaches and guides him through life.In the poem Nutting Wordsworth starts off the solar day as he has d whizz(a) many times before, going out and looking for chestnuts, the childhood ritual which all children do at one stage during their life. But unlike before he goes to a serving of the wood he has never been and which no one else has been to either, I came to one dear nookUnvisited. This untouched area of the wood de mails Wordsworth and he is overjoy to have found it himself, A little while I stood, subsisting with such suppression of the heartAs joy delights. A shoetree full of,tempting clusters. Thisvirgin scene began to seduce Wordsworth and he falls in love with it and begins to think that he owns the tree. So of course spat is inevitable. Then I rose,And dragged to earth both branch and bough, with crashAnd atrocious ravageDeformed and sullied, patiently gave up. Wordsworth has totally mutilated this tree and feels bass beyond the wealth of kings. He really does feel delighted with the course he has just done but as the reality of it sets in and the picture of what this scene once was begins to give Wordsworth a sense impression of infliction. This pain caused by the anguish of what he has just done to this defenceless tree. From this sense of guilt Wordsworth begins to realise that there is a spirit in the woods. And the foundations for his next beliefs in pantheism have been set. Wordsworth has moved on from his previous thought of a tree just creation an object but now believes it has a kind of life force in it.In the poem The serve (I) Wordsworth follows a similar theme of growing up. In this poem one-year-old Wordsworth takes a boat which is not his and he is feeling very adventurous. It was an act of stealthAnd troubled pleasure. He felt very good when he took the boat and was having a very good time, until Wordsworth realises what he has done awry(p) but this is not realised until he reaches his destination in the lake. The horizons bound, a huge peak, black and huge,As if with voluntary power instinctUpreared its head. This is the advent of the poem and helps show the sudden change in mood. Wordsworth is happily rowing the boat when suddenly this huge big thing shows itself. To Wordsworth this is some fashion of hideous creature. But in fact as you go through the poem you learn that this is the first few signs of his developing sense of right and wrong. For many old age my brainWorked with a dim and undetermined senseOf unknown modes of being oer my thoughtsThere hung a huge darkness.moved belatedly through the mindBy day, and were a trouble to my brain. These show the signs of a guilty conscience, guilty from knowing he took the boat a conscience Wordsworth is being taug ht about from nature and it again points to his emerging belief of Pantheism, that nature is God.The main focus in this poem The Prelude (II) is that of moving on. The poem has a picturesque setting of the twilight gloom This type of light however would tell Wordsworth to go inside, as if nature was telling him as a parent calls their children. But I heeded not their summons. So he carried on All shod with steel,We hissed along on the polished grump in games a nice use of alliteration to convey the execution of ice skating. But Wordsworth being a Pantheist he cannot go forward so he wonders off not seldom from the uproar I retired. Wordsworth here shows his poetic ability and understanding of nature because he realises that the hills are melancholic. His subconscious understanding of nature forces him to go off and explore. What he realises is that everything around him is moving. With visible motion her diurnal roundBehind me did they stretch in solemn train,Feebler and feebler , and I stood and watchedTill all was tranquil as untroubled sleep.As a child he is travelling with the spirit of nature.I think everyone could relate to Wordsworth poems in someway I know that I can relate to his feeling of a spirit in the woods. When I was lost I in the woods I felt as if someone was there showing where to go. So I will culmination on this note Touch-for there is a spirit in the woods.
