For Wordsworth, childhood is a time where Man, Nature, and God are all the same entity. As we get older, we get busy: school, religion, marriages, jobs, etc. as that happens we put God, Man, and Nature in separate categories which in turn causes these childlike responses to Nature to diminish.

It’s truly devastating, but a masterpiece. Beautifully written @guardsful 1 year ago One of the saddest, most heartbreaking scenes ever committted to celluoloid. Kudos to all involved, the director Kazan, the director of photography, the wonderful musical
