Dear Corbin
I quite agree with your viewpoints, but it's also true that the remnants of the ills of the nineteenth century English society which was a period of show-offs of the ostentatious opulent considering themselves civilized, and see the poor as uncivilized, thieves and beggars, continued its left-overs in the 20th. That is exactly what the poet has pointed out and it does have its relevance. Thank you for reading and commenting. I appreciate.

Re: Re: Re: abagro
It's not that they're second-rate citizens....but that they have a second-rate attitude....there are thousands of job available, businesses begging for additional labor.
But the left in America prefers that people become addicted to the public dole, the Leftists are the providers and you "OWE" them. The fee is your vote.....
And in the "Most Left" states, they ignore the laws and let non-citizens vote in vast numbers......
The "Rule of Law" is the backbone on our Republic, without it we are nothing but a vast nation of Jellyfish.......

Re: Re: abagro
Yes, so often the poor now are thought of in such a manner, as second-rate citizens, probably a hold-over from those days. One learns that wealthy people can conversely be scum. lol. Oh, sorry, no emojis work on this computer.

Re: Anib Brother - what a topic for thought!
i am still your ababro, sisPres. This problem was so current until the eighteenth century England. Just because the poor were poor they were considered natural criminals, caught and put in jails and tortured severely, without any proof. Dickens' Oliver Twist is one such story. Thank you dear sis that you could relate this aspect to a broader scale existing today too.

Re: Shamaji,
You rightly say that only a poet of his stature could see the inseparable bond between Man and Nature. And Wordsworth, I feel, is a typically a sadhu in the ancient Indians' mould, rustic, still distilled in the knowledge he learnt from Nature with no formal education required. और हाँ, कौन फ़क़ीर नही है उस शहंशाह के आगे? कितनी सही कहा आपने।

Anib Brother - what a topic for thought!
This poem, and your post, capture the essence of what is still a hot topic today. In this case, it's one person. In many places there are communities of homeless people. It's very complex, and some just want to be left alone to live their lives "off the grid," according to the professionals who work with them. Others are unable and unstable, mentally incapacitated and mental health services are needed desperately. But for this post, this poem, this one beggar, perhaps if someone had asked him, or asked themselves, is it truly good to take this man from his life if he doesn't wish to be removed from the streets? Or is it truly good for us to share and open our hearts to this one person to help him in his struggle to survive? What is the greater good? Perhaps we can take from this just one thought, that each individual case is different, and each person needs a modicum of respect, regardless of locale. Great post!

It would be good for us all to remember that our mortality includes our earthly bodies as being a part of nature.

Beautiful thought, only a poet of his stature could see this inseperable union between man & nature.वैसे हम में से कौन भिखारी नहीं उस शहंशाह के आगे....
