For 10 points—name this author of "The World is Too Much With Us" who co-authored Lyrical Ballads with Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
He composed the lines, "if mine had been the painter's hand, to express what then I saw" in one poem which also claims, "I would have planted thee, thou hoary pile, amid a world how different from this", while another work by this author begins, "twas summer, and the sun had mounted high" before discussing a character who "resolved to pass the remnant of his days, untasked with needless services", named the Wanderer.  In addition to "Elegaic Stanzas" and The Excursion, this author wrote "there is blessing in this gentle breeze" and asked, "in what vale shall be my harbour?  underneath what grove shall I take up my home?" in a semi-autobiographical work entitled The Prelude.  More well-known works by this author include one with the lines "we have given our hearts away, a sordid boon!" and "I'd rather be a Pagan suckled in a creed outworn" and one in which he describes poetry as "the spontaneous overflow of powerful feeling".
