In "Lines Written a Few Miles above Tintern Abbey," William Wordsworth describes his earliest experiences with nature in lines 26-37. In these lines, Wordsworth recalls how, as a child, he would spend hours wandering through the natural world, seeking solace and inspiration. He describes how he would "lie down" on the grass and "gaze on the clouds" or "watch the waters flow." These early experiences with nature, he says, left a deep impression on his mind and contributed to his love of the natural world.
