प्रश्न
Answer in a paragraph of about 100−150 words.
Do you think the poet wants to say that man is unhappy because he has lost his link with nature and forgotten how to enjoy nature, or because man is cruel to other men?
उत्तर
The poet William Wordsworth wants to convey the readiness of nature to teach the art of ‘living together in harmony, peace, and bliss. But man has lost his sensitivity to listen to the joyful lessons of nature. His greed and love for possession of territories and abject cruelty to [ fellow humans and nature have disillusioned the poet. He has almost lost faith in the capacity of humans to love and live in harmony with nature, man has gone to the extent of denuding
the forest which really sustains life on earth. Rare species in the forests are on the brink of; destruction. Animals and birds in the red list are growing in number to the great distress of nature lovers. So, I believe Wordsworth is unhappy for both (i.e) man’s losing the link with nature and his infinite capacity to be cruel to other men.
