In the first stanza from the"The Solitary Reaper" , Wordsworth 's expresses his <em>surprise</em> at listening to a  country girl <em>singing beautifully</em>. He feels attracted to the combination of nature and human activity: singing."....O listen! for the Vale profound // Is overflowing with the sound..." These lines exemplify the merger of nature and human activity.

In the second stanza, he compares the lonely girl's song to the song of different birds: nightingale and the cuckoo. He expresses his attraction towards the power of the girl's song. Her song is more beautiful and powerful than the birds': "....No Nightingale did ever chaunt// More welcome notes to weary bands.." Wordsworth reflects his appeal to the fact that nature inspires the human soul.

Which sentences in this excerpt from "Quality" by John Galsworthy show that the writer admired the boots that the boot maker had
Jlenok [28]
"Besides, they were too beautiful—the pair of pumps, so inexpressibly slim, the patent leathers with cloth tops, making water come into one's mouth, the tall brown riding boots with marvellous sooty glow, as if, though new, they had been worn a hundred years. Those pairs could only have been made by one who saw before him the Soul of Boot—so truly were they prototypes incarnating the very spirit of all foot-gear."
"For to make boots—such boots as he made—seemed to me then, and still seems to me, mysterious and wonderful. "
Admire means to have great respect for or like. In the chosen sentences it is clear that the writer admired the boots. In the first quote, the writer uses the words "beautiful" and "marvellous". He describes the shoes as something the could make a person's mouth water which is the same as saying that they are delicious. His description of the boot maker as one who can see to the "Soul of the Boot" demonstrates his appreciation for the boots of the boot maker. All of these descriptions show how much the writer admires the shoes of the boot maker. In the second quote, the writer uses words such as "wonderful" and "mysterious". These adjectives further reveal the writer's admiration for the boot maker's skill.
