The world is too much with us; late and soon,
\nGetting and spending, we lay waste our powers:
\nLittle we see in Nature that is ours;
\nWe have given our hearts away, a sordid boon!
\nThis sea that bares her bosom to the moon;
\nThe wind that will be howling at all hours,
\nAnd are upgather’d now like sleeping flowers;
\nFor this, for everything, we are out of tune;
\nIt moves us not.-Great God! I’d rather be
\nA Pagan suckled in a creed outworn;
\nSo might I, standing on this pleasant lea,
\nHave glimpses that would make me less forlorn;
\nHave sight of Proteus rising from the sea;
\nOr hear old Triton blow his wreathed horn.”
\n William Wordsworth.
