There are a lot of prominent poets that had created so many beautiful poems that has amazing meaning. This edition, we are going to analyze a poem entitled “The World Is Too Much With Us” by Wordsword. Without doing further do, let’s check it out below!!

The World Is Too Much With Us

BY WILLIAM WORDSWORTH

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 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.

The major themes of the poem are the loss of nature and the natural world and the impacts of the busy life. The poet argues that people have forsaken their souls for material gains. In fact, the whole text of the poem denounces materialism which the poet has seen around him. In "The World is Too Much With Us", the speaker laments the loss of man's intimate connection to the natural world in the wake of industrialism and a greater desire for worldly success.

In the first line of the stanzas, The world is too much with us; late and soon,
Getting and spending; By the start of the 19th century, nature was no longer the place of mystery it always had been, filled with man’s animistic impulses, but increasingly the province of science and physical laws, such as Copernicus, Lamarck, Newton, and eventually Darwin. It wasn’t nature that Wordsworth loved  but what nature symbolized and that was the redefinition of nature that Wordsworth resisted.

Meanwhile, late is probably best understood as “in recent times” or lately. On the other hand, the word spend, having the sense of consuming, wasting, using up and exhausting.

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.

In the next part, Wordsworth describes the Sea. She is a woman her bares her bosom to the moon. This is what he means by seeing in Nature what is ours. The metaphor of the Sea as a woman baring her bosom, gives to the Sea a purpose, a vision, and moral that is human and ours.

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.

In the last part, He cries to God that he would rather surrender his soul, risk the eternal damnation of a heathen, than surrender his poet’s and human vision of Nature. The sight of Proteus rising from the sea is the vision of a poet and the symbolic of humankind’s ability and need to imbue Nature with what is ours. There’s another sense of the Pagan that might pertain. The Pagan’s view of the world was thought to be simple and naive.

Well, that was all the analysis toward a poem entitled “The World Is Too Much With Us” by Wordsword. I hope this article going to help you guys in finding the points and see you in the next article.. JJ

1. The Inside speaker of this poem is a small boy who was worked as chimney sweeper when his mother died. It can be seen through the stanza below:

When my mother died I was very young,
And my father sold me while yet my tongue,
Could scarcely cry weep weep weep weep,
So your chimneys I sweep & in soot I sleep.

That curled like a lambs back was shav'd, so I said.
Hush Tom never mind it, for when your head's bare,
You know that the soot cannot spoil your white hair

As Tom was a sleeping he had such a sight
That thousands of sweepers Dick, Joe, Ned, & Jack
Were all of them lock'd up in coffins of black,

And by came an Angel who had a bright key
And he open'd the coffins & set them all free.
Then down a green plain leaping laughing they run
And wash in a river and shine in the Sun.

And so Tom awoke and we rose in the dark
And got with our bags & our brushes to work.
Tho' the morning was cold, Tom was happy & warm
So if all do their duty, they need not fear harm.

2. Assonance

It is resemblance of sound in words or syllables. Example: He heard the sound of the fire, like wire striking the air. Because it is in line with the definition, so the sound of the fire, like wire striking the air is the resemblance of sound.

[AN ANALYSIS] THE STORY ENTITLED MARIGOLDS BY EUGENIA COLLIER

BLOGGER INDONESIA

Hi future leaders, thank you for clicking this website. Alright, in today’s edition we are going to experience Marigolds story by Eugenia Collier. Mungkin ada beberapa dari teman – teman semua yang udah sempet baca ceritanya tetapi mungkin masih bingung menentukan apa sih sebenernya the big idea of the story itself. Terkait dengan itu yuk kita simak pembahasannya!!

AN ANALYSIS THE STORY ENTITLED MARIGOLDS BY EUGENIA COLLIER

Well, this short story was talked about a girl named Elizabeth and her family struggle through living in the time of the Great Depression. Elizabeth is an African American girl that is on the threshold of womanhood. Elizabeth’s family is very poor and is forced to live in a shantytown. Elizabeth and her family have to live through the struggle of poverty, poignant and meaningful arguments in the family, and Elizabeth is caught between the chaotic emotions of a child and a woman.

Elizabeth and her family are struggling through the poverty. Elizabeth’s difficulty coping with her poverty is mainly what influences her to destroy the marigolds in Miss. Lottie’s yard. In the beginning of the story Collier expresses an image which resembles the town where Elizabeth is forced to live an unprivileged life. Elizabeth emphasizes that the marigolds are too beautiful to be in a place full of ugly and ragged things. After seeing everything around her in this ugly, poor fashion, the marigolds confuse her and are almost too much for her to handle. Her incapability to comprehend the abstract beauty of the marigolds drives her impulse to destroy and get rid of the confusion.

Elizabeth constantly has to face problems in her family, and this leads to tension which eventually leads to the final destruction of the marigolds. Elizabeth’s hope dramatically lessens when she listens in on her parents talking one night. When Elizabeth hears her father complain to her mother, “It ain’t right. Ain’t no man ought to eat his woman’s food year in and year out.” Elizabeth feels that before her father was strong like a rock and her mom was fragile, now everything has changed and her dad is broken into pieces. Elizabeth’s mother tries to relieve her father: “Look, we ain’t starving. I git paid every week, and Mrs Ellis is real nice about giving me things.” Eventually, Elizabeth’s father broke down even farther and he “sobbed, loudly and painfully, and cried helplessly.” The man of the household is breaking down, and does not know where he stands anymore nor does Elizabeth. 

When Elizabeth realizes that her father cannot support her family devastates her and Elizabeth is broken by that realization. She does not have a stable set of parents who can even rely on each other or themselves, leaving her to feel lost and hopeless. Elizabeth becomes insecure by the fact of her father crying. When she realizes she cannot stand anymore confusion in her family, she goes to wake her brother up and then vents out her angst on the marigolds and this also shows some immatureness in Elizabeth.

In the beginning, the author explains how this young girl, Lizabeth, lived in the culturally deprived neighborhood during the depression.  Lizabeth is at the age where she is just beginning to become a young woman and is almost ready to give up her childish ways.  Through this time period she was confused and could not quite understand what was happening to her.  In the end she rips Miss Lottie’s marigolds among the ugly place in which she lived.  

The marigolds were the only things that make the place a bit beautiful to the eye.  In this scene the marigolds represent the only hope the people had for themselves in this time of depression.  This could reveal how the author has experienced a loss of hope in times of need.  In her explanation of how Lizabeth had torn up the flowers and destroyed all hope in that time of depression, might explain that she has also destroyed hope in a time of pain and grief.  

Later she writes, “And I too have planted marigolds.”  This could mean she has learned from her experiences and that she has finally found hope and always tries to seek the good within the bad and the ugly. In the sentence “…all I seem to remember is dust—the brown, crumbly dust of late summer—arid, sterile dust that gets in to the eyes and makes them water, gets into the throat and between the toes of the bare brown feet.” In this phrase the words give a harsh, cruel feeling of how the depression was, which could then explain how she remembers the depression and that it was a hard time for her. Most likely it was a significantly hopeless moment in her life.

Nah itulah pembahasan mimin mengenai Marigolds Short Story by Eugenia Collier. Jangan lupa untuk di like atau komen jika ada pertanyaannya ya..
