In the poem 'Lines Writtten in Early Spring' written by William Wordsworth the link to bounadries isn't a obvious but it is comparing humans who are governed by boundaries e.g. fences, rules, laws to animals and nature that have no boundaries because they are free in nature. An example of this in the text is:
'The birds around me hopped and played
Their thoughts i cannot measure:-
But the least motion which they made
It seemed a thrill of pleasure'
The Pathetic Fallacy is used in this poem. The persona thinks that his feeling are linked to nature
'To her fair works did Nature link
The human soul that through me ran
And much it grieved my heart to think
What man has made of man'
The line 'What man had made of man' is a pun for 'man made'. It shows the effects of modernisation have destroyed the link with nature.
