By: William Wordsworth
-Nature
-About childhood in general, not his particular experiences
-Loss: change, something is missing
-Pre-existing state: moves farther and farther away
-Human nature and earth causes change
~Mind = childlike
~Body = adultlike
-We are continuously learning how to be in the world...by imitating others (adults)
-Wordsworth has become good at imitation but it is a lie to what his soul is
-Children have a power that adults don't have
-Children have all the answers, not adults
-Kids want to grow up but they shouldn't want that--there is far more freedom in childhood
