I disagree with the idea that Wordsworth is lecturing the reader and offering a solution, as tho this is a political speech or lifestyle ad. It's a poem, which for W in particular, is meant to be an expression of his personal feelings. He stands by the ocean on a perfectly calm, moonlit night, alone, free, and he still feels alienated. "Wherever you go, you bring yourself with you." He invokes greek mythology, but, as a modern man, he has no pat answers to feeling utterly folorn, shut out from the universe.
Thank you. You're the first person I've encountered that recognises that it's an incantation. If WW was of an older time, before Christianity, he would summon the Sea Gods and have the place flooded.
According to my teacher, it refers to the Industrial Revolution at that time, though it brought so much to the people but at the same time it made human lose their connection with Nature. So the Industrial revolution is a bad gift
