Question

Does he feel a great peace?

✓

Answer

The poet William Wordsworth has in his poem ‘A Slumber Did My Spirit Seal’ told us that the death of his beloved left him in a trance.
He didn't have any human fears.
On seeing her dead body he knew that she couldn't have any feelings or touch of an earthly human.
She was unable to see, hear or move.
Only her memories would remain with him.
He knows that her spirit would live on but her body would become a part of the earth and its daily rotation.
Therefore, it is difficult to Say whether he is experiencing bitter grief or is in a peaceful state of mind.
