The Delicious Scent of LifeMemories of experiences fill our lives with emotion thinking about what could have, should have happened. Past experiences influence how you see the future. Just as past experiences remain in the mind, present experiences create others for the future. Williamworth's most famous work “Tintern Abbey” reflects how nature and the earth itself are a gift from God. Worth explains that it is necessary to see nature in a relationship with human life. The spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings towards man and nature creates such symbolism and meaning that it reminds you to always remember the small details. Something insignificant can change your life forever. The journey in "Tintern Abbey" begins, taking the reader from the height of a mountain stream to the valley where, sitting under a sycamore tree, he perceives the beauty of the natural world. Worth establishes the connection of nature and how it is a force that binds humanity not only to the past and future, but also to other human beings. Originally called "Lines written a few miles above Tinturn Abbey", the value setting is crucial. It is said to be located a few miles above Tinturn Abbey looking at the view from above. Very meticulously he goes on to say: “once again I see these high cliffs, which in a wild and secluded scene impress thoughts of deeper isolation and connect the landscape with the stillness of the sky. The day has come when I will rest here, under this sycamore tree" (4-10). Because he was observing the abbey, he falls into a state of memories. He writes the poem under the sycamore tree while overflowing with emotion towards the grandeur of nature. He is happy with s......middle of paper......humanity", he has recognized his own morality. The satisfaction of one's conscience is there in Tinturn Abbey. The human mind is like a flowing river , he states, powerful and fluid with the capacity for destruction and corruption. As I said before, the presence of his sister Dorothy seems to surround him. She remained there with him, side by side, when she was alive and now that he still allows him to perceive her he contemplated the scenery of Tintern Abbey. He sees himself in Dorothy. “In thy voice I catch/ the language of my ancient heart, and I read/ my ancient pleasures in the twinkling lights/ of thy wild eyes” (117-119). Worth advises Dorothy and the reader to take his verses to heart as a blessing. He teaches her to trust that nature will always provide comfort in difficult times and a new vision of the meaning of life.
