Harold Bloom has argued that this poem's mention of a hermit who sits alone by his fire and the line about a "blind man's eye" are allusions to Milton. William Empson made fun of the lines about a "sense sublime of something far more deeply [*] interfused," and wondered about the "motion and a spirit" that "rolls through all things." The poet thanks the "forms of beauty" he sees for his "serene and blessed mood" in which the "burthen of the mystery" is lifted and he sees into "the life of things," and reminds his "dear, dear Sister" that nature never did betray the heart that loves her. Written five years after the day in 1793 when the poet visited the banks of the Wye, FTP, name this poem by William Wordsworth whose title refers to a religious building.
