The Sublime is the meeting of our internal emotions, with the external, natural world.
Wordsworth successfully portrays the beauty, magnitude and superiority of nature in the poem.
Wordsworth ends the poem with a foreboding tone, perhaps to represent the darkness that would imminently enter his life.
