Summary

This quote from the poem "The Solitary Reaper" by William Wordsworth reflects on the innocent nature of children. It highlights how children, who are often unaware of the troubles and challenges that lie ahead in life, remain immersed in the present moment, enjoying their play and little concerns. The phrase "little victims" suggests their vulnerability and the contrast between their carefree nature and the worries that adulthood brings. Wordsworth captures the purity and blissful ignorance of children, contrasting it with the complexities and responsibilities of adulthood.
