(Lines 114 -119) Thess ines oe in Wordsworth’s Nature-poem entitled “Tintern Abbey’ Here he tells Dorothy that even if he were not thus inspired by Nature, fe \vould not be less cheerful on the banks of the Wye. For she also stands with yam on the banks of that fair river. She has also been a great lover of Nature, fy his childhood and boyhood days she inspired him to continue as a lover of Nature: when she has just praised the beauty of Nature about those banks, her voice and emotion have reminded him how he used to love Nature in similar manner in his boyhood days. Her eyes are wild with excitement produced by Nature beauty there. The brightness of her eyes also reminds him of those times when he himself used to be as much excited by the sensuous beauty of Nature, The poet implies that his love of Nature has become spiritual now. So Nature! does not appeal to his senses now. On the other hand, it appeals to his soul and rouses him from the sleep of the world. But she still appeals to Dorothy's senses, And_ her excitement reminds him of his happy boyhood days when Nature appealed to his senses and thrilled him with great joy. At present Nature moves him to experience noblest thoughts which also thrill him with deep sensations, > COMMENTS: To Wordsworth, association with Nature is something life-giving, and joy-eiving. Nature never betrays her lover and provides him unending joy and fills his mind with quietness and beauty.
