He's so unfit he's panting as he talks! Good lecture though.

I.e., the world is always changing, but as we get older, we become rational beings that construct of solid vision of what we think the reality is. The intuitive person operates perceives the world he looks upon today, as something new and different from yesterday. In other words, Wordsworth is trying to say that his boyhood vision has gone stale, so he abandons it and looks on it anew.

[Rattapax]

"Heaven lies about us in our infancy! Shades of the prison-house begin to close upon the growing Boy but he beholds the light, and whence it flows, he sees it in his joy."

I think Wordsworth was more in line with Nietzsche's Overman, where it is not about holding on to childhood vision, but having new visions; i.e., attempting to look upon the world ever day as if you've never seen it before.

Great video. For some reason it reminds me of brother Jack: "At present we are on the outside of the world, the wrong side of the door. We discern the freshness and purity of the morning, but they do not make us fresh and pure. We cannot mingle with the splendours we see. But all the leaves of the New Testament are rustling with the rumour that it will not always be so. Some day, God willing, we shall get in."

and i bet if wordsworth had come up with the word cloud first off, from what i've seen of his work he would have written " i drifted lonely as a cloud" judging by his thought processes from other poems and also clouds are not usually connected with lonliness, they tend to hunt in packs, that whole line is a fluke. a result of circumstance and a time when he was undergoing self belief, this just my opinion which can be swayed, it is not written in stone

[bryngOneOn]

i saw somewhere that wordsworth originally wrote "i wandered lonely as a sheep" and it was his sister that suggested changing sheep to cloud. in that case the sister is the genius and wordsworth himself just technially proficient at his work. he gets more kudos than his buddy coleridge, but coleridge in my view was in a totally different league to him, to write kubla khan and to write it it one go with no alterations and appraisal is astounding, writ on drug? drugs just get you in the right mood

why do the yanks demand on over-simplifying everything? AND feel the need to constantly relate anything to the 'American Revolution'.

Great video,

But don't forget that Nature is loved instrumentally not just for the emotions left over from childhood, but for the "ambundant recompense" he gained after he stopped feeling the visceral, animal feelings of a child. This ambundant recompense is in the form of philosophy and reflecting with "thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears."

But anyway, great discussion of a deeper poet than people make him out to be!

[MrPogle]

Thanks so much for sharing this. It's my favorite movement in Western History. I appreciate your analysis. I recommend A.S. Byatt on Wordsworth, too...
