Background
A description of the experience
William Wordsworth – from The Wanderer recalls the Past
I see around me here
Things which you cannot see;
We die, my friend,
Nor we alone, but that which each man loved
And prized in his peculiar nook of earth
Dies with him, or is changed; and very soon
Even of the good is no memorial left
…...............
Oh Sir, the good die first
And they whose hearts are dry as summer dust
Burn to the socket
