Question: Why does the poet repeat “no motion has she now, no force—she neither hears nor sees?
Ans: The poet, Wordsworth offers an eerie description of the woman’s current situation. She is blind and deaf—wholly incapable of taking in the world around her. This is a particularly painful idea in a Wordsworth poem because he is generally focused on experiencing the senses. He also mentions that she is now without motion or force. This, of course, is true of all dead people, but by stating the obvious, the speaker helps the reader to imagine the way the young woman once was: full of life and vigour.
