Wordsworth was a sincere naturalist and loved unspoiled
nature for itself. However, he also lived out a Romantic philopsphy. As a result, his
poetry explores the interaction between the natural world and the human mind. This
interaction took the form of continuous cycle of contacting nature through observation
and altering the "thing in itself" (Kant) through meditation. Wordsworth was aware of
the fact that human intelligence often interpreted phenomena in a manner that added to
it what may not be visibly present. One example, might be seen in his propensity to add
human values to natural activities. Such as elevating the work of ants routinely
tending to an act of nobility and wonder. By creating a worldview based on such
insights, one upon layer placed upon the next, Wordsworth came to view the world as
wonder the design of which should evoke deep passion in those who correctly observe
it.
