| Evidence: | Transcribed in E. M. Forster's Commonplace Book (1941), under heading 'Wordsworth on Machinery':
'"Nor shall your presence, howsoe'er it mar
The loveliness of Nature, prove a bar
To the Mind's gaining a prophetic sense
Of future change, that point of vision, whence
May be discovered what in soul you are."
'[Sonnets of the Imagination XLII]'
This followed by remarks: 'Right! The problem of 1941 has not been better put. And it could be so well put only by someone who had not all the facts.' |
