UGG Boots : A Completely New Manner Craze

This tiny poem, like so much of Wordsworth's, is simple only in ugg boots australia appearance. Its language is so lucid and "ordinary", that once the reader has found that the dove is a ricer in the north of England, there would seem to be no obstacle to understanding. Surely Wordsworth is telling us that there was once a maid called Lucy, who lived in a remote place, who has a certain type of unostentatious ugg boots online canada beauty, and who is now dead. He certainly is telling us these things, but there is ugg boots australia in melbourne more to the whole business than at first meets the eyes.

If the reader concentrates upon the ugg boots australia whooga meaning, upon what the words are actually saying, two interesting points will rise. Consider first of all the opening lines of the final stanza: "She lived unknown, and few could know/when Lucy ceased to be". A curious problem here arises with ugg boots australia website regard to the words "unknown" and "know". If Lucy really did live "unknown", in what ways is it possible to suppose that even "few" could "know" the time of her death?

Taken in the most literal sense, the ugg boots australia purple lines are absurd, since nobody at all could know when a genuine unknown person "ceased to be". It is obvious, then, that as Wordsworth presumably does not mean to be absurd, he must be using the verb "to know" in two different senses. What he is saying may be clumsily explained as follows: Lucy was a person who lived quite without any kind of renown. When she died, only a few people could have ugg boots outlet men beenaware of the event.

There is, however more to be said about the lines in the light of what we are told in the first stanza: "a maid whom there were none to praise, and very few to love." understanding Wordsworth's meaning depends upon a sharp distinction between "none", and "very few". It is all too easy to blur this http://fdhnr153.blogspot.com  distinction, and read the lines as though Wordsworth had said "a maid whom there were few to praise." such a lazy construction of his words will not do.
