THE WORLD IS
TOO MUCH
WITH US
.h1
William Wordsworth
.tr
The world is too much with us; late
and soon,
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!
This sea that bares her bosom to the
moon;
The winds that will be howling at all
hours,
And are upgathered now like sleeping
flowers;
For this, for everything, we are out
of tune;
It moves us not. -- Great God! I'd
rather be
A Pagan suckled in a creed outworn;
So might I, standing on this pleasant
lea,
Have glimpses that would make me less
forlorn;
Have sight of Proteus rising from the
sea;
Or hear old Triton blow his wreathed
horn.
[To compare: "We live in a world of
things, and our only connection with
them is that we know how to
manipulate or consume them." -- Erich
Fromm (1955)]
