Come Forth into the light of things, let nature be your teacher

William Wordsworth is man solely based on nature, science, love and death. Many of his famous quotes have to do with how science is what he bases the fact in his life off of, nature is the beauty in his life, death is what is taking society, and love finds its way into things now and again but it’s rare. The quote “Come forth into the light of things, let nature be your teacher” is one of his quotes that shows the significance of his view on nature. The poet feels that you shouldn’t have to think about what other people think, or if things are right or not, but to just let nature take its course and take you with it where ever it made lead. He is saying that if you are confused or wants to get to the deeper meaning and core of things, then don’t try hard because that will only confuse you and turn you in the wrong direction. Just give up your all and let whatever feels right take you and if nature wants you do unordinary things then so be it. William Wordsworth looks at nature as not just plants, or flowers, or trees, or mountains, or lakes. But as almost a kind of spirit that is incredibly beautiful. He and for that matter all the romantics would never look at a lake a say “oh, it’s water, it’s cold but pretty”, and leave it at that. They find something to compare to the aspect of nature and make the piece of nature turn instantly symbolic. Although love is a major part of his life, William Wordsworth doesn’t talk about romance or love all that often in his poems. Strangely enough I thought at the beginning of this whole Romanism unit that all these people were kings of game, but I was wrong in some aspects. Unlike other poets, Romanics don’t focus on all those sappy love poems. I think they replace part of love with science and figure things out that way instead. They never just look at something either and leave it, depth is always mandatory. I enjoyed the quote “Come forth into the light of things, let nature be your teacher”, and I think that the romantics in a way have life pretty much figured out and I find all their theories and quotes particularly inspiring.
