July 13, 1798.” by William Wordsworth, explores the notion of the “weight” of the world being “lighten’d” through a connection with the self and nature (39). Wordsworth describes this connection as “sublime” and “blessed” to help reveal the understanding of what nature can do for the mind (pg. 132, line 40).

He sold his best story for a couple of dollars just to survive, and support his family. His life didn’t go the way he wanted. He barely got through with whatever dead-end job he could get. However, his life did have meaning and make a difference. It shaped the way he wrote poetry, and without his incomparable poetry, literature would never be the same. Edgar

William was a poet during the Romantic period/ movement that lasted from 1798-1870 (lecture).

Act of Union Through the years, Irish poetry had a leaning towards representing Ireland as a raped woman. Seamus Heaney’s “Act of Union”, from his 1975 book of poetry, North, uses the theme of relationship, portraying Britain as a man towering over the weaker, feminine Ireland. The poem uses strong sexual metaphors, which try to compare the colonization of Ireland to that of a rape.
