Product additional information
Wordsworth’s sonnet, written during the industrial revolution, speaks of humanity’s energies wasted by ‘getting and spending’, and a yearning for a pre-Christian, natural innocence. This postmodern setting paints advertising slogans, spoken and whispered, over Wordworth’s text and suggests a lost state of innocence using notes from the harmonic series.
