The great poet Wordsworth had a saintly vision in him. In his poem "Intimations of Immortality" he says, "Our birth is but a sleep and forgetting". He is simply stating the truth so effectively.
As soon as we land on this earth we completely forget about our past. We do not have any clue as to wherefrom we came and as the time passes we forget what for we are here. We think we are here to enjoy. We indulge in material pleasures with so much enthusiasm we completely drown ourselves in worldly activities. We keep ourselves so busy, we do not have the patience to hear our own inner voice that tries to remind us about our forgotten truth.
"The world is too much with us"- It is the title of Wordsworth's another poem. The title itself answers our above concern. The metaphysical awareness of the poet draws the reader's attention to stop and think about the illusory life we are leading.
