The Tables Turned - William wordsworth

Up! up! my Friend, and quit your books;

Or surely you'll grow double:

Up! up! my Friend, and clear your looks;

Why all this toil and trouble?

The sun above the mountain's head,

A freshening lustre mellow

Through all the long green fields has spread,

His first sweet evening yellow.

Books! 'tis a dull and endless strife:

Come, hear the woodland linnet,

How sweet his music! on my life,

There's more of wisdom in it.

And hark! how blithe the throstle sings!

He, too, is no mean preacher:

Come forth into the light of things,

Let Nature be your teacher.

She has a world of ready wealth,

Our minds and hearts to bless—

Spontaneous wisdom breathed by health,

Truth breathed by cheerfulness.

One impulse from a vernal wood

May teach you more of man,

Of moral evil and of good,

Than all the sages can.

Sweet is the lore which Nature brings;

Our meddling intellect

Mis-shapes the beauteous forms of things:—

We murder to dissect.

Enough of Science and of Art;

Close up those barren leaves;

Come forth, and bring with you a heart

That watches and receives.

-William Wordsworth

The Pulley By G. Herbert Full Explanation

The Pulley by George Herbert. Know the line by line Explanation , Theme And Summary of the Poem. The Pulley:- When God at first made man, Having a glass of blessings standing by; Let us (said he) pour on him all we can, Let the worlds riches, which dispersed lie, Contract into a span. So strength first made a way, Then beauties flowed, then wisdom, honour, pleasure, When almost all was out, God made a stay, Perceiving that alone of all his treasure; Rest in the bottom lay. For if I should (said he); Bestow this Jewell also on my creature, He should adore my gifts instead of me; And rest in Nature, net the God of Nature, So both should losers be, Yet let him keep the rest, But keep them with repining restlessness; Let him be rich and weary; that at least, If goodness leads him not, vet weariness; May tossed him to my breast. - G. Herbert Theme and Summary: As George Herbert was a priest in England, he wrote many religious poems with metaphysical concepts. The reflection of devo...
