I'm sorry.
:57:02
I quoted some lines from Wordsworth's
Ode on Intimations of Immortality.

:57:06
Did you hear them?
:57:10
I'm afraid not, Miss Metcalf.
:57:12
Then I must ask you to turn your text
to Page 380.

:57:26
Yes, l....
:57:30
You read the lines to me.
:57:32
Yes.
:57:36
Stand please.
:57:48
"Though nothing can bring back the hour
:57:50
"Of splendor in the grass...
:57:53
"...of glory in the flower;
:57:55
"We will grieve not, rather find
:58:00
"Strength in what remains behind...."
:58:05
Perhaps you can tell me
exactly what the poet means...

:58:08
...by such expressions as
"splendor in the grass"...

:58:10

:58:31
...we look at things very idealistically,

And I think Wordsworth means...
:58:46
...that when we grow up...
:58:54
...that we have to forget
the ideals of youth...
