Lines Written In Early Spring by William Wordsworth

Lines Written In Early Spring is written by William Wordsworth.
This poem is directly linked with nature and how man has made a wreck of it.

"What man has made of man"

Is a line said repeatedly through the poem asking what man has doen to man. How has man ruined man and nature?

Throughout the poem the persona feels linked to nature with is a pathetic fallacy

"To her fair works did nature link"

The effects of modernisation have nearly destroyed the link with nature, although we humans are nature itself. We are forming a boundarie with nature but were also forming a boundarie within ourselves.

"What man has made of man"

The persona states that birds have no boundaries because they are free to fly and do as they please but humans are trapped to do what other man has done beore them.

"The budding twigs spread out their fan,"

Shows the imagery of spring.
The persona knows he can make a positvie or a negative out of this experiance. Heaven/Hell.

William Wordsworth ends with the shocking statement he has put throughout his poem

"What man has made of man?"
