William Wordsworth restored vitality to the stuffy English literature of his lifetime with fresh down to earth language.
In the current madness I have turned to Wordsworth this weekend to restore my faith in what is right about humanity.
I have found myself rewriting his classic lines written above Tintern Abbey to direct them more to God and a little less at The Self. (Correcting the mistakes of the Poms a.k.a. the British - is a national pastime in Australia.)

What do Freeepers have to say about this?
What's the matter smart*** you don't know any ****** Shakespeare?
The Poms, eh? Sounds about right!
I have taught Tintern Abbey to my AP classes. I usually preface it with I Wanderd Lonely as a Cloud, as it presents a quicker take on Wordsworths notions of the impact of nature on memory and its power to bring restoration and heightened understanding to the soul.

Please substantiate this insinuation of plagiarism.
Wordsworth’s best poems could be considered foundational documents of our emotional culture. Do you agree?
Wonderful material for emerging adult minds.
But has this Canon been deconstucted out of the system more recently?
Old, dead white guys BAD.
You've spelled "self promotion" wrong, mate.
You are a courageous feminist Freeeper.
One of a kind?

I still argue with my Massachusetts relatives when they
try to tell me about their “first” Thanksgiving...
we had one in The Virginia Colony” in 1619....a couple
