The Prelude
How does the wonder I felt in nature as a child remain within me now?
📝ONGO's Reflection
Reading this long and beautiful epic that confesses how the mind of a poet grows, I recalled the forests and winds of a childhood I had utterly forgotten. Wordsworth says that nature is no mere backdrop but a great teacher that delicately shapes the soul. When my senses have grown dull, worn down by arid routine, it is a book brimming with life, like green leaves, that reawakens the pure vitality in the deepest part of me.
"The Child is father of the Man; And I could wish my days to be Bound each to each by natural piety."William Wordsworth, The Prelude
"아이는 어른의 아버지. 내 하루하루가 자연의 숭고함으로 이어지기를."
