Blight means ruin and disaster. Words and phrases that indicate and support this meaning are: "the last bitter hour" (denoting death), "stern agony, and shroud, and pall" (also denoting death, but this time in an even more literal way), "breathless darkness", "make thee to shudder, and grow sick at heart" (these phrases definitely imply a disaster that takes our breath away).

<span>These are the three strengths and weaknesses of Macbeth in the play by Shakespeare: bravery, ambition, and self-doubt. He is a fine leader of the troupes, he is brave in going to his battles, but his bravery is fueled by his ambition to become king which was predicted by elders. This leads to self-doubt every time he loses his battles. </span>
Answer:
Wordsworth tends to see Nature as 'out there'; a presence that surrounds humans, and contributes to human life, but is different from humans. If you look at a typical Wordsworth poem (There was a boy, ye knew him well ye rocks) - Wordsworth talks about Nature as something that needs to be learned about and understood, Nature is different from us.
If you look at a Byron poem (The Isles of Greece is a good one) - Byron looks at Nature mainly for what it already means to Man. Wordsworth will look at a landscape and see the mountains, trees, valleys, and rivers as almost spiritual presences - Wordsworth wants to get to know Nature.
Byron will look at the same landscape and he will want to know who lives there, what are the villages? Are there any farms or mines, is there some history?
Wordsworth looks at Nature for what it is; Byron is forever asking what it means.
Wordsworth thinks that humans are part of Nature; Byron thinks that Nature is part of being human.
