How often do people take the time to appreciate the natural beauty of nature around us? It's a vital source to mankind; without it we wouldn't be living on this planet. As technology has evolved over time, making our lives more convenient, our appreciation for nature and the meaning of it's natural wonders has become diluted. In, "The World Is Too Much With Us," by William Wordsworth, he emphasizes how growing generations have lost touch with nature. He uses Greek gods to highlight the issue. If they were to intervene, they would strike with their almighty power to uplift the generation, and inspire the power of true nature. "Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers: Little we see in Nature that is ours, we have given our hearts away, a sordid boon!" (Wordsworth 1807, lines 2-4). In this stanza he describes how humankind is too preoccupied with buying and spending, accumulating as much as we can to label it as, "Ours." When it comes to nature, one can't own it; it is merely seen as a shadow in the background. The modern generation has become vastly, "Out of tune, it moves us not" (Wordsworth, 1807, lines 8-9). We no longer feel an emotional connection with the natural wonders surrounding us. "Great God! I'd rather be a Pagan suckled in creed outworn" (Wordsworth, 1807, lines 9-10). Wordsworth would rather be labeled as a Pagan; a dead religion with worn out beliefs. Maybe he would be able to admire mythological Gods such as Proteus, the old man of sea who takes many shapes, or Triton, the merman armed with a powerful conch that controls the waves. As Wordsworth overlooks the sea he pictures himself seeing both of Gods of sea; seeking divinity and slipping away from reality and mankind. "So Might I, standing on this pleasant lea, have glimpses that would make me less forlorn" (Wordsworth, 1807 lines 11-12). Here, Wordsworth feels a sad emotional shock, this scene is portrayed as heartbreaking, only because he has lost hope in hum
