I thoroughly enjoyed your explanations, have watched a couple of videos, so easy to understand and helps me become better at analyzing sonnets. Thank you very much. I was also happy to find a Petrarchan sonnet structure (contemporary, if not before the English sonnet): ABBA ABBA CDECDE but the sestet has many variations, could be CDCDCD and so on (as is here).
Am on a deep dive into this sonnet, I like the way you approach it. Particularly noticing how, after the volta, he uses the first person voice to express the then radical idea that Christianity has created this sense of alienation from the universe. Also, that the real issue is feeling cut off from spiritual emotions, not so much from nature. In general, I think interpretations focus incorrectly on the industrial revolution, which came later. I think Wordsworth was rebelling against the Enlightenment and its emphasis on rationality.

So glad you liked my analysis. It sounds like you've given the poem a lot of thought too. I like your ideas!
So helpful! Thanks 🙏
Doing great work
Thanks! 😊
Great God, if I was of a time of old, earlier than Christianity, I would summon the Great Gods of the Sea and flood this place.
Very Wordsworthian of you 😂
Completely different from how I saw it. More like a lone person, overwhelmed, clinging to their own meaning. But, lovely channel and analysis.
not for us..... sigh ....
non English speaking masses out there.....
😢
wish you could slow it down a bit... and try being more _legible_
