A review by readingoverbreathing
Lyrical Ballads: 1798 and 1802 by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, William Wordsworth, Fiona Stafford

3.0

"In spite of difference of soil and climate, of language and manners, of laws and customs, in spite of things silently gone out of mind and things violently destroyed, the Poet binds together by passion and knowledge the vast empire of human society, as it is spread over the whole earth, and over all time."

a random yahoo answers post i came across said it best when it said "as with all wordsworth poems, they are never really about nature, they're always just about him!"
