William Wordsworth's 'The world is too much with us'. (Any requests?)

October 22, 2020 Liam Guilar
Caspar David Friedrich’s ‘Wanderer above a sea of fog’. The archetypical Romantic pose

Caspar David Friedrich’s ‘Wanderer above a sea of fog’. The archetypical Romantic pose

William Wordsworth (1770-1850)

‘Getting and spending we lay waste our powers’. Says it all really.

This reading was a request. Which reminds me to point out that if you have a poem you’d like to hear read on the Podcast you can send your request via the contact form on www.liamguilar.com or to my author page on facebook.

Some poems don’t work well read aloud, and some just don’t work when I read them. I can’t promise there will be no parrots, dogs or traffic in the background, but i’ll see what I can do.

On the website you’ll also find an index of all 159 poems that have been read so far.

In Requests Tags William Wordsworth, Sonnet, Romantic, nineteenth century
← Lewis Carroll's 'You are Old Father William'Meirion Jordan's 'Arawn Lord of Annwn' →

The Fabled Third, the sequel to A Man of Heart and the final part of A Presentment of Englishry, is now available direct from the publisher Shearsman Uk and usual online sources. Signed copies of all three books are available from the shop on this site.
