sample 'A' paper in English 230 (1874 words)
With "she is a fen/ Of stagnant waters" (lines 2-3), Wordsworth spawned an image of England that Percy Bysshe Shelley would mimic in his own description of England's muddied aristocracy in "Sonnet: England in 1819." Wordsworth does not hesitate to mention England's overarching muddied nature.
She is a fen in all aspects: in the institution of the church (alter), in the military (sword), in the law-making body (pen) (though this could be a critique of the literary world as well), in the domestic sphere (fireside), and in the aristocracy (the heroic wealth of hall and bower).
The caesura of the line "in cheerful godliness; and yet thy heart" (line 13) draws a comparison between the godliness of the poet and his human heart, representing the final assertion of Milton as answer to England's death.
