Which details from the text best explain the consequences of denying people the right to assert their own free will? Select the two correct answers. "The gift of reason, Man's highest prerogative, is assigned to them in much lower degrees."
"For human beings are not so constituted that they can live without expansion. If they do not get it in one way, they must in another, or perish."
"A house is no home unless it contains food and fire for the mind as well as for the body."
"What can pollute and tarnish is to act thus from any motive except that something needs to be said or done."

wordsworth tends to see nature as 'out there'; a presence which surrounds humans, and contributes to human life, but is different from humans. if you look at a typical wordsworth poem (there was a boy, ye knew him well ye rocks) - wordsworth talks about nature as something that needs to be learned about and understood, nature is different from us.  

if you look at a byron poem (the isles of greece is a good one) - byron looks at nature mainly for what it already means to man. wordsworth will look at a landscape and see the mountains, trees, valleys, and rivers as almost spiritual presences - wordsworth wants to get to know nature.  

byron will look at the same landscape and he will want to know who lives there, what are the villages? are there any farms or mines, is there some history?  

wordsworth looks at nature for what it is; byron is forever asking what it means.  

wordsworth thinks that humans are part of nature; byron thinks that nature is part of being human
