Explanation:
In this passage, Wordsworth discusses the capabilities of the human mind. he tells us that the mind is capable of being occupied and excited without the need to look for "gross" and "violent" stimulants.

With the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in the late 18th century, people were crowded into fast-growing cities. They often took repetitive factory jobs that drove them to seek sensation. Wordsworth discusses this and claims that giving people a way out while stimulating their mind was the most important task of the writer.
