Robert Frost one said," Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words". A poem that could be labelled as the best poem in the world would have poetic devices that would convey the author's thoughts artistically and deliver a universal message that will resonate with people of all times. The best poem in the world in my opinion is ``The World is too much with us`` by William Wordsworth because of his exceptional use of poetic devices that conveys his message in the most beautiful form. Symbolism is one of the many things enforced by Wordsworth throughout the poem. The first one is that mankind is greedy and that their lust for money outweighs our consideration of nature. In the first line ``The world is too much with us; late and soon,`` Wordsworth implies that mankind has no time for nature because they`re too busy ``earning and spending`` on the materials made by men.

Also the fact that the heart is associated with symbolizing our emotions shows that we have become mere zombies that our bent on gaining material possession. Wordsworth bring awareness to the issue of not loving nature by using imagery to capture the readers attention. The imagery used in this poem makes Wordsworth message more compelling. He is another author who tries to blend nature and man as one. It is evident in the lines ``This Sea that bares her bosom to the moon`` and "The winds that will be howling at all hours," as he personifies the sea as a woman and the wind as a man. Each aspect of nature is personified and makes the reader think about the many polytheistic religions that have gods associated with nature. The lines "Have glimpses that would make me less forlorn; Have sight of Proteus rising from the sea;" are used by Wordsworth to urge the reader to contemplate
