Please read Wordsworth's "Strange fits of passion I have known" and answer the following question: How is death suggested by movement in the poem?

Hint: the answer is somewhere in this article: http://everybookandcranny.wordpress.com/2011/11/14/poetry-peeks-wordsworth-part-ii-the-lucy-poems/

Remember to write a literary paragraph (100-150 words) with a topic sentence including the title and author, reasons, evidence supporting those reasons, and explanations explaining why those examples prove your topic sentence.

BONUS QUESTION: Read all of the Lucy poems found here and then describe the character of Lucy.
