William Wordsworth/We Are Seven

William Wordsworth has been known to be the "inventor" of what is now known as the Romantic Era. Supposedly he started it all with his Lyrical Ballads. He too was a lover of nature and he was very descriptive when he wrote about what he observed. His love of nature was extremely defined in the way he described what he saw. In some of his writings it is really unusual with the way he described life and death. In his poem We Are Seven, he was very detailed on how he described the way the little girl looked and he applied his love of nature to the application as well. One detailed description he used to describe her was "she had a rustic, woodland air, and she was wildly clad." He was well in tune to his surroundings. Many ways that he described how the world looked around him was very unique.

    This post is too short to give you the opportunity to say much or explore the poem in sufficient depth and detail. Try to make your observations and interpretations clearer to your readers.
