How does Wordsworth establish the connection between humanity and nature in the poem, Ode: Intimations of Immortality From Recollections of Early Childhood?

The speaker first establishes the connection between humanity and nature by positing the relationship between the individual and their perception of the outer world as a relationship between the individual and the natural world specifically. This emphasis on a view of nature as a measure for one’s engagement with their own reality implies that while the bond between humanity and nature may wax and wane, it is one inherently present in all people.
