The Oneness

The poem “She dwOnenesselt among the untrodden ways” was written by William Wordsworth, an English Romantic poet, in 1800 and it was printed in Lyrical Ballads (a volume of Wordsworth’s and Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s poems). It was the best known work of Wordsworth’s series of five works which talks about Lucy. The most interesting aspect about the poem appears when he talks about oneness. He makes the readers wonder what really means all those things that appear in the text.

The poem points out singularity as it makes us wonder why the idea of loneliness is spread all over the text. More than loneliness, uniqueness appears as a qualification to the lonely “objects” and they (objects) become part of Lucy’s story. An unknown and humble person who used to visit simple places and stare at simple spots and views. Till her simple death and ordinary burying, she had made no difference, now she makes difference to “me” (the speaker who is telling about her story).

“But she is in her grave, and, oh,
The difference to me!”

  1. It’s true. The speaker talks about Lucy in that story and all elements in the text refers to her, too. There’s some crucial elements that sets Lucy’s life, such as: untrodden ways, springs of Dove, a violet, a mossy tone, fair, unknown, etc. These elements are Lucy’s predicatives and, the way that they are shown, reveal us that the speaker doesn’t know who is she.

    wow folks!, there are so many symbols in text that we can write a lot of pages about it. I loved this analysis cuz the loneliness contains a profound meaning in any culture.
