... Comparison of 'We are Seven' by William Wordsworth and 'Mid-Term Break' by Seamus Heaney. William Wordsworth was a defining member of the English Romantic Movement. As we can see from reading his poem, his personality and love of nature is conveyed. Wordsworth was probably inspired from his upbringing and most of his mature life living in the Lake District with picturesque landscapes influencing a true love of nature. Some describe Wordsworth as a profoundly earnest and sincere thinker who displays a high seriousness tempered with tenderness and a love of simplicity. Seamus Heaney had a rather conflicting upbringing as he also grew up in the country- watching American soldiers in the local fields around 1944. Heaney has taken this image of himself as a consciousness suspended between history and ignorance as representative of the nature of his poetic life and development. Heaney has also worked as a professor of Poetry
