🔠 Fancy words I used:
Unsettle - "In terms of meter, he unsettles the rhythm on a few occasions, notably in line 9 with Neptune referred to as a 'beached whale', both syllables stressed and therefore breaking the iambic pattern."
Industrialisation - "He was concerned at the growing influence of industrialisation and warned against people forgetting about the beauty and importance of the countryside."
Deity - "But perhaps most famous of all is Neptune, the supreme deity of the sea in Roman culture also known as Poseidon by the Greeks."
Flora and fauna - "Although a supposedly powerful being, “God is labouring to utter his last cry”, this sounds a lot like God himself is about to vanish, along with the flora and fauna that man has polluted."
Underlining - "By addressing it to Wordsworth through what is known as an ‘apostrophe’, he is underlining the steep downward direction mankind’s relationship with nature has taken in the past two centuries."
