This being my final blog, I would just like to state that I am barely resisting the strong urge to entirely utilize this entry to recount all of my thoughts on the past semester. I do want to say a few things though, since I know that this is actually being read.

Another Wordsworth poem that was discussed in class is the fourth "Lucy" poem. My group also presented on this. It speaks of a "Maid" and uses very specific imagery to paint a scene. Some of the images the reader gets are a secluded dwelling alongside some springs, a shining star, and a violet next to a mossy stone.

My principal analysis of the Wordsworth poem beginning "A slumber did my spirit seal" resulted in what may appear to be a rather unconventional conclusion. To understand this, it may be helpful to know that I read the poem as if it were a riddle - the unspoken line following the initial eight being "What is I/she?" I read it to be a change in poetic voice, rather than a change in subject. This contributes to why I felt that the "answer to the riddle" was "a volcano".
