On Wordsworth and Jesus
Story★★★Mr. Crabb Robinson tells how once he was in the Lake Country, near Grasmere (the very village where William Wordsworth lived), and met a seemingly intelligent gentleman (also an inhabitant of those parts) who asked him: “Is it true, as I have heard, that Mr. Wordsworth ever wrote verses?” Perhaps people said of Jesus: “Is it true, as I have heard, that He gabbles a good deal about God?”
The point
Just as a neighbor was oblivious to Wordsworth's fame, many are indifferent to who Jesus truly is.
