and serenity of nature often make people feel at home and relaxed. Both Coleridge and Wordsworth found this same serenity in nature. Watching the beautiful flowers blow in the wind gave Wordsworth a sense of peacefulness‚ one that could not be compared to any manmade object. He describes a sense of ultimate joyfulness‚ where one could not but be happy while watching the majestic flowers dance. Wordsworth has opened his mind to the beauty of nature‚ allowing it to be saved in his mind. Coleridge

it is not just this place‚ but this time that adds to the atmosphere. This is supported where Wordsworth describes the beauty of the morning as a garment that the city wears. This shows that the city is not always this beautiful‚ but with the morning being ‘worn’ it is. The next two lines show that the beauty is added to both by human creations and by nature‚ in a serene confluence that astounds Wordsworth. The volta (transition between octave and sestet) is subtle‚ but the sestet starts with another
