William Wordsworth

"If thou appear untouched by solemn thought,
Thy nature is not therefore less divine:
Thou liest in Abraham's bosom all the year;
And worshipp'st at the Temple's inner shrine
God being with thee when we know it not."

- 'It is a beauteous evening, calm and free' by William Wordsworth

Wordsworth wrote this poem about his daughter. Being, as he was, so awestruck by nature, he found it hard to comprehend his daughter's apparent lack of connection to it, lack of appreciation for the divine in the physical. However, although she was "untouched by solemn thought," Wordsworth believes that she has a deeper connection with God, as she is so young, so innocent, so pure. Although, she seems to have no conscious connection to God, in reality, her very being is an expression of God.
