The formation of life is one in which cannot be described. Everything around us is living; nature creates more just as humans do. In the poem "Lines Written in Early Spring," the statement describing "their thoughts I cannot measure" brought an image that describes both nature and humanity. The thought of everything on Earth having a mind of its own is thought provoking. In both the poem and the picture, the descriptions of thoughts, air, and pleasure are shown. Everything is a form within itself waiting to be created. Nature and children create who they are from what they are given. It is within ourselves that makes others wonder, the smile, the energy, the beauty. However, in the poem, there is a sense of grieve in that man is not understanding what is going on around him. What is being created cannot be seen through his eyes as joy, rather man is seeing what is not there. There's life surrounding him, and man is responsible. Yet sadness runs through him, he is not enjoying what is there, he is pushing himself away from a new creation. Wordsworth has created an aura of life. In the poem when man is saddened by life, reality may have struck. How could man help in creating life full of energy and love when in reality it is a cycle of life and death. How can one become accustomed to what makes you happy, and in the end make you sad?

You single out an important line from them poem and reflect in a more general way on what the poem has to say about man's relation to nature. The picture serves well to illustrate your interpretation, though a more explicit explanation might not be a bad idea. In any case,for short blog entries like these it's important to keep your focus narrow, so it would be better to avoid these larger issues and instead further develop your thoughts on that particular line. As it is, your ideas tend to come off as rather vague and it's not clear what claim you want to make about the poem.
