The words of William Wordsworth are part of the fabric of the English language. His poem 'The Daffodils' was voted the second most popular poem in England (after Kipling's 'If') and phrases jump off the page like old friends when seen in their original setting:
'The world is too much with us; late and soon,
Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers:
Wordsworth and the other 'Romantic' poets taught the public to appreciate the rural life and the lessons nature could teach on the living of the simple life, so apposite today.
