Au'naturale

"HE 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 up-gathered 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 wreathèd horn."

- William Wordsworth

 

This is a poem we have to analyze tonight for English. I dreaded having to do so, as poem analysis' are boring for the most part, but after reading it and learning it's meaning, I enjoyed it. 

From what I got out of it, it's about humans not respected nature as much as they should, and how materialistic we have become. It's just refreshing to read a poem that doesn't have to deal with love, or lackthereof, and instead directs action to a thing important to me, nature.

 

In other news, I have my anatomy chapter work done! (This deserves a parade)

Also, my research paper is done! Not turned in.. but done!

And my anatomy lab practical is tomorrow.. eh. I really am not confident, but I'm hoping for the best.

And finally, it was 70 degrees today. In December. I was happy to get a break from the chill, but I'm still hoping for a day of snow.. or a week.

 

Well, I think that's about it. I shall be on my way!

 



 Best picture I could get of the full moon the other night.

 


Love & Light & Peace,
