Document Summary
Beggars: timeless, the poor is always with us, conflicted feelings towards them. Important education for the children not from books (lines 102-108) If you give once you create an expectation claims it"s a reasonable expectation. Interesting how he uses the word contract being bound, having certain rights to each other: voluntary creating an expectation, fundamentally romantic, due and obligation and desire, can"t put together pleasure and duty. 103) being too weak to do what he wants: neither the savage man or the cold abstract philosopher a man who lives in his imagination, why he is a poet. 100-101) wants to be like a spectator at a play for society, still full of sympathy and wants justice. Indorsing the poetic imagination highly reflective: very different way from finding freedom from convention, more honest description than wordsworth, back to the idea of sympathy depends on distance, only going to give if you are not suffering.
