To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
< It is not words only that are emblematic, it is things which are em- blematic. ' ' Every natural fact is a symbol of some spiritual fact. ' 'Light and darkness are familiar ex- pressions for. Knowledge and ignorance. ' From Nature also we do gain a reinforcement of moral quality, tranquillity from the sky, firmness from the rock, equanimity from the plain. Our lives, at their highest, find an appropriate setting in natural surroundings.
1 This argument is wiser than the present writer was. I am in- debted to an admirable piece of writing in the Manchester Guardian (Nov. 8, 1904) criticising an essay I published in that year.
WORDSWORTH 121 Leonidas dies in 'the steep defile of Thermopylae. ' ' The boat of Columbus ' glides in among the Savan- nahs of the West. The body rests in the quiet earth. How is it that a woman reminds us of a flower, and the evening of death? What song does Spring sing in our ear? 1 Wordsworth's poetry, like all the greatest poetry, is based upon the fact, and it is perhaps greatest in this, that it bears witness, more than any other poetry, to the chief fact of life.
