  2. Best Quotes • Constitute the bond of union between life and joy (<558) • Drinking in a pure organic pleasure from the silver wreaths of curling mist (<563) William Wordsworth An artist’s impression

  3. Paraphrasing • In the first quote Wordsworth implies that nature forms a bond between life and joy, allowing enjoyment and fulfilment, leaving him in awe of his surroundings and goats.

  4. Paraphrasing 2 • The second quote runs along similar lines to the first continuing in Wordsworth’s awe of his splendiferous surroundings and pure enjoyment of pink fluffy rabbits.

  8. What and indeed How? William • Wordsworth expands on his past and its closeness to nature and the natural world. • He does this by using comparisons between his past and present. Also the use of alliteration helps to bring across his thoughts and feelings. EAT IT

  9. Repetition. • Wordsworth’s repeated use of the letter “r” in lines 564-5 represents the “silver wreaths of curling mist” rolling in. This clever use of the letter “r” reminds me of Ringo Starr. Ringo ^
