During the Industrial Revolution in England, by engaging in monotonous work, humans became disconnected from nature. By the 19th century, when William Wordsworth wrote the sonnet The World is Too Much With Us, the process of industrialization had transformed the lives of workers, leaving neither time nor place to enjoy or take part in nature. In his Petrarchan sonnet, Wordsworth criticizes humans for losing their hearts to materialism and longs for a world where nature is divine. In the first four lines, the poet angrily addresses the theme of the sonnet which is that the modern age has lost its connection to nature and to all things meaningful. The words “late and soon” (1) are part of a list that continues on the next line with the phrase “obtain and spend” (2). The line break serves to structure the sonnet. Late and Soon refer to the rapid 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 had a long vowel “oo” since industrialization and therefore exploitation of nature had existed long before Wordsworth wrote this sonnet. Wordsworth wanted to express how “soon” (1) this exploitation would be known to others by placing the high consonant “n” after the long vowel. The caesura in the first line after the word "we" (1) gives the reader the opportunity to feel and reflect on the weight of the world resting on the shoulders of humanity after the poet's declaration that the world is too fragile to so humans can handle it. The “powers” ​​(2) of humanity have been “wasted” (2), which in this context means they have been used ineffectively. However, other connotations for the word "waste" (2) are things that are in the middle of the paper... where the narrator reacts to his death, is connected to nature but dies before he can reach it. own consciousness distinct 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 in the poem as part of the narrator's consciousness. Nature is depicted as something almost divine, just as the mythical Greek gods of The World Is Too With Us were Wordsworth's favorable alternative to human exploitation of nature. Nonetheless, there is a difference between being too connected to nature, as Lucy was, and being almost disconnected from nature, as humanity is portrayed in The World is Too Much With Us. The only way to be in harmony with nature is to accept it as it is – not to be too connected with it, but not to exploit it..
