Talk:The world is too much with us

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I do not believe that this poem is written in Iambic pentameter, for the second line is definitely not. I believe that the poem structure is based upon the sonnet, with five feet per line, but without following a actual meter.

That's true, the first four lines do not seem to be in iambic pentameter, a point which I will be sure to note in my final paper, on this very poem. With regard to the sonnet, it is an Italian Petrarchan sonnet, imitative of the work of Francesco Petrarca in the 14th Century. KaneFox (talk) 05:58, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
