- quotations
- led by her
- her is nature spirit
- act of stealth and troubled pleasure
- secrecy-hiding from social restraints, oxymoron = sublime
- a huge peak,black and huge
- the grim shape
- with a dim and undetermined sense of unknown modes of being;o'er my thoughts hung a darkness
- corruption
- no pleasant images of trees,of sea or sky, no colours of green fields
- nature is no longer comforting to him
- but huge and mighty forms, that do not live Like living men,moved slowly through the mind By day,and were to trouble my dreams
- this experience had a lasting effect on him
- led by her
