11. Western Civilization William Wordsworth The World is Too Much with Us The world is too much with us; late and soon, Getting and spending , we lay waste our powers;— Little we see in Nature that is ours ; We have given our hearts away , a sordid boon! This Sea that bares her bosom to the moon; The winds that will be howling at all hours, And are up-gathered now like sleeping flowers; For this, for everything, we are out of tune; It moves us not . Great God! I’d rather be A Pagan suckled in a creed outworn; So might I, standing on this pleasant lea, Have glimpses that would make me less forlorn; Have sight of Proteus rising from the sea; Or hear old Triton blow his wreathèd horn. Materialism criticized Mourns the loss of Nature Critical of rationalism over emotions Critical of lack of awe at Nature

19. Western Civilization John Keates Ode on a Grecian Urn THOU still unravish'd bride of quietness, Thou foster-child of Silence and slow Time, Sylvan historian, who canst thus express A flowery tale more sweetly than our rhyme: What leaf-fringed legend haunts about thy shape … Bold Lover, never, never canst thou kiss, Though winning near the goal—yet, do not grieve; She cannot fade , though thou hast not thy bliss, For ever wilt thou love, and she be fair! … When old age shall this generation waste, Thou shalt remain, in midst of other woe Than ours, a friend to man, to whom thou say'st, ' Beauty is truth, truth beauty ,—that is all Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.'
