Mutability Truth Quotes

With the image of the falling tower, Wordsworth asks us to maybe be a little more humble in our opinions. He pokes fun at the tower, image of war and military might, which "could not even" sustain a shout at the end of its life.

For the Romantics like Wordsworth, you could not understand anything without using your imagine as well as your reason. Since we cannot imagine time, we don’t really understand the truth of time either.
