<P> Unlike society, Wordsworth does not see nature as a commodity . The verse "Little we see in Nature that is ours", shows that coexisting is the relationship envisioned . We should be able to appreciate beautiful events like the moon shining over the ocean and the blowing of strong winds, but it is almost as if humans are on a different wavelength from Nature . The "little we see in Nature that is ours" exemplifies the removed sentiment man has for nature, being obsessed with materialism and other worldly objects . Wordsworth's Romanticism is best shown through his appreciation of nature in these lines and his woes for man and its opposition to nature . The relationship between Nature and man appears to be at the mercy of mankind because of the vulnerable way nature is described . The verse "This Sea that bares her bosom to the moon", gives the vision of a feminine creature opening herself to the heavens above . The phrase "sleeping flowers" might also describe how nature is being overrun unknowingly and is helpless . </P> <P> The verse "I, standing on this pleasant lea, have glimpses that would make me less forlorn", reveals Wordsworth's perception of himself in society: a visionary romantic more in touch with nature than his contemporaries . The speaker would rather be a pagan who worships an outdated religion so that when he gazes out on the ocean (as he's doing now), he might feel less sad . If he were a pagan, he would have glimpses of the great green meadows that would make him less dejected . He'd see wild mythological gods like Proteus, who can take many shapes, and Triton, who can soothe the howling sea waves . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> This article possibly contains original research .
