William Wordsworth, Tintern Abbey, Introduction

Wordsworth's famous Lyrical Ballad Tintern Abbey is a meditation on the effect of the sublime on bringing about a new birth, the birth of the 'soul' of the poet himself. In the poem, Wordsworth traces the process whereby he is brought to spiritual awareness of what we could describe as panentheism.

I am currently revising for my upcoming exam in literature, since I am studying English linguistics. Wanted to say that your takes on the poems are spot on. I've watched your presentation on William Blake's Marriage of Heaven and Hell and the information there perfectly alligned with the lecture slides I was given at uni. We have been also taught that the sublime conveys an awe inspiring, to some extent also frightening notions. Greetings from Sofia University!

I think he was viewing the abbey from the east side of the Wye, on Offa’s Dyke, now a UK national trail.

What has ruined it? Nature?--
Seems like Henry VIII is a better answer.
