During England's Industrial Revolution, by engaging in monotonous work, humans detached themselves from nature. By the nineteenth century, when William Wordsworth wrote the sonnet The World is Too Much with Us, the process of industrialization had transformed the life of the worker, leaving no time or place to enjoy or partake of nature. In his Petrarchan sonnet, Wordsworth criticizes humans for losing their hearts to materialism and desires a world where nature is divine. In the first four lines, the poet angrily addresses the theme of the sonnet, that the modern age has lost its connection to nature and all that has meaning. The words “late and early” (1) are part of a list that continues in the next line with the phrase “get and spend” (2). The line break serves the structure of the sonnet. Late and Early refer to the fast pace of the industrial age and describe how the past and future are included in the poet's characterization of humanity. “Too” (1) and “soon” (1) have a long “oo” vowel since industrialization, and therefore the exploitation of nature, had been occurring long before Wordsworth wrote this sonnet. Wordsworth wanted to express how “soon” (1) this exploitation would become known to others by placing the sharp consonant “n” after the long vowel sound. The caesura in line 1 after the word "we" (1) gives the reader the opportunity to feel and reflect on the weight of the world that rests on the shoulders of humanity after the poet's statement that the world is too fragile for beings humans can handle it. The “powers” ​​of humanity (2) have gone “wasted” (2), which in this context means that they have been used inefficiently. However, other connotations for the word "rejection" (2) are things that...... center of the card... where the narrator responds to his death, is connected to nature but dies before he can reach his goals. own distinct consciousness away from nature. Lucy is connected to nature and exists in a state between the spiritual and the human. However, it represents a state of consciousness and exists within the poem as part of the narrator's consciousness. Nature is represented as something almost divine, just as the mythical Greek gods of The World Is Too Much With Us were Wordsworth's favorable alternative to human exploitation of nature. However, there is a difference between being too connected to nature, as Lucy was, and being almost disconnected from nature, as humanity was portrayed in The World Is Too Much With Us. The only way to be in harmony with nature is to accept nature for what it is – not to be overly connected to it, but not to exploit it.
