Does this relate to yin and yang? Well absolutely! Yin and Yang represents that
opposites are not only able to coexist, they must exist together in the same world.
This picture effectively demonstrates that by blending the yin yang symbol over
the earth, demonstrating that on (although not limited to) Earth, opposites must
exist; every yin has its yang. But there is also part of yang in yin and part of yin in
yang. Wordsworth says: There is thought and no thought One does not exist
without the other, but there can never fully be a lack of thought and never be just
thought. The two complete each other. He sees humans and both beautiful and
flawed. There are flaws to beauty, and sometimes even flaws can be beautiful.
In the opposites, Wordsworth goes on to describe opposites within opposites like
when he talks about weakness and strength. Strength can be over used like in any
movie where the superhero accidentally breaks something. Too much strength
can lead to disaster; sometimes there is strength in restraint. When there is
strength, but it is left unused or used correctly, it can be just as bad as when it is
over used. Balance is necessary for everything.
In the last stanza, Wordsworth seems to be relating this to and experience from
his own life. There was a woman who he loved, but she had another lover.
Wordsworth thinks hes better for her. He says the man would ran away and leave
her to continue to love him and grieve his absence. In the fourth stanza, he talks
about how her lover not noticing her and the shame in not realizing what you
have. He also talks about how his own virtue will come back and benefit him in
the end (although, he probably hopes shell notice it). So pretty much,
Wordsworth wrote this for the woman so she could realize she has made the
wrong choice.
