and 'tis my faith that every flower enjoys the air it breathes​

Answer 1

Answer:

As the poet sits there and muses on nature, its beauty, and its seamless existence, his thoughts turn briefly to the misery of man, and to the miseries that they wrought on each other. At the time of writing, the French Revolution was raging through France, a cultural shock which was to provide the British literary society with enough fodder to last them for years – and William Wordsworth was no exception to the rule. Stunned by the cruelty and the callousness of French society, he and other Romantics wrote primarily to try and take back the world from the brink that it had been pushed to during the so-called age of enlightenment. Lines Written in Early Spring was one such poem. Wordsworth’s themes in ‘Lines Written in Early Spring’ are nature, spirituality, and peace. Throughout this poem, the poet, who is very likely the speaker, observes the natural world around him. he discusses how impactful the images of nature are on his state of mind. he was in a “sweet mood”. But, this pleasant mood leads him to deeper thoughts, those associated with the nature of humankind, and what has become of the human soul/spirit. He mourns over what man has done to man in the face of Nature which contains all of us. The speaker knows that although he doesn’t have answers to many of his questions he can take pleasure from the world around him. Wordsworth admires the flowers – the primrose, the blue of the periwinkle, the greenness of the woodland area in which he sits – and the birds which ‘hopped and played’ around him. The birds, and the twigs on the trees, seem to exist in a world of pleasure – at least, Wordsworth decides he must tell himself that this is so. This is the way nature is, and nature, in being the work of God, is like this for a reason.
