Compare Lament And Report To Wordsworth

In the poem, it is the human race that is systematically eliminating what is left of the remains of earth’s nature.

Similarly, the water being compared to a wolf causes the reader to believe that the ocean is dangerous, and warns that in response to our careless misuse of nature, there will be consequences. In this poem Wright attempts to portray a variety of messages. Firstly, Wright conveys an element of caution, especially given the nonchalant attitude of the Australian stereotype. We cannot live constantly in an insouciant manner, as it can leave us vulnerable to any harm or serious consequences. Secondly, that destroying nature will not cause us to gain power, as we will always subservient to nature. Nature is the one aspect of life that we must accept as

The study of any poem often begins with its imagery. Being the centralized idea behind the power of poetry, imagery isn’t always there to just give a mental picture when reading the poem, but has other purposes. Imagery can speak to the five senses using figurative language as well as help create a specific emotion that the author is trying to infuse within the poem. It helps convey a complete human experience a very minimal amount of words. In this group of poems the author uses imagery to show that humanity is characterized as lost, sorrowful and regretful, but nature is untainted by being free of mistakes and flaws and by taking time to take in its attributes it can help humans have a sense of peace, purity, and joy, as well as a sense of

“We are a detrimental virus for our mother Earth”. Clarke’s “If I Forget Thee, Oh Earth” and Carson’s “Silent Spring” explore environmental danger, each one in their own narrative style , sending a dismal but honest message: we are consuming this planet and its end is coming soon.

In the romantic era, British authors and poets focused on nature and its influence. Two of those poets, Charlotte Smith and William Wordsworth, wrote many pieces on the beauty of nature and their personal experiences with the beaches of England. In “Far on the sands” and “It is a beauteous evening,” Smith and Wordsworth describe their respective experiences on the shore at sunset. Both authors use structure, theme, allusions, and imagery to effectively convey their perceptions of nature. While the sonnets share a setting and the topics of nature and tranquility, Smith’s has a focus on introspection and Wordsworth’s is centered around religion. These have different focuses which achieve different effects on the reader.

In sonnet IV of 100 Love Sonnets, Pablo Neruda describes a charming memory of him and his lover as they carelessly wonder through a picturesque and serene landscape. Throughout the poem, Neruda uses lifelike imagery as well as ambiguous oxymorons to create an idyllic and dreamy mood. The author exemplifies this in lines 1-2 when he writes, “You will remember that leaping stream where sweet aromas rose and trembled”. In this example, Neruda’s use of personification of the stream and aromas enhances the imagery so that the reader can obtain a more detailed image of the scene. This enforces the idea that the mood is idyllic and dreamy because “leaping streams” and “sweet aromas” are usually phrases that connote a calm and homey feeling or mood.

In his book, Last Child in the Woods (2008), Richard Louv illustrates his distaste for the widening divide between man and nature by his use of exemplification, narration and hypophora. Louv’s purpose for writing this book is to inform the audience that mankind should change its ways and move towards a lifestyle that is more appreciative of its surroundings. Louv uses a frustrated tone to invoke the feeling of guilt within the reader because they are responsible for making humanity unappreciative of nature.

In the romantic era, British authors and poets focused on nature and its influence. Two of those poets, Charlotte Smith and William Wordsworth, wrote many pieces on the beauty of nature and their personal experiences with the beaches of England. In “Far on the sands” and “It is a beauteous evening,” Smith and Wordsworth describe their respective experiences on the shore at sunset. Smith uses tone and theme to convey her feelings of despair and isolation. Wordsworth utilizes various religious images to communicate his awe in the face of the natural world. While the sonnets share a setting and the topics of nature and tranquility, Smith and Wordsworth have different focuses which achieve different effects on the reader.

Everyday there are people who go along their days, and get hungry, maybe grab a bite to eat. But once they dispose of the wrapper, or what is left over, they do not realize the waste they have been piling up which will soon be this overflowing landfill that doesn't seem like a problem now, but will be one soon near the future. “Silent Spring” by Rachel Carson and “If I forget thee oh earth” by Arthur C. Clarke, can represent a deeper meaning to this crisis. And what if both stories are foreshadowing or warning us and if we don't react now, this will become our fate. The theme of both stories can easily be compared but the different ways they treat the issues of their environment crises can easily differ.

This being so the expression of the influence of nature’s beauty on men can be as different as each flower in a field. As seen in the magnificent portrayal of the delight filled relationship of Wordsworth and the profound spiritual relationship of Muir, a relationship with nature can take many forms and the ways to express their emotion can further express the differences in these relationships. Muir expresses his intimate relationship with nature by use of diction and descriptive quotes which fill the reader with a sense of the awe and wonder Muir feels in the presence of nature. While, Wordsworth makes use of syntax and tones which express his jocund feelings and give the reader a sense of his bliss at the thought of his encounters with nature. It is clear through the works of these two brilliant authors that the beauty of the natural world is not as simple as it would seem.

Everyday people all over the world try to improve the qualities of their lives. Nonetheless, they forget that what they do can have severe harms and damages on the environment and other organisms. In the excerpt “A Fable for Tomorrow” from the book Silent Spring, Rachel Carson describes the disastrous and horrific effects of pesticides on the environment and animals of the town. In the essay “Our Animal Rites” by Anna Quindlen, she shows the inhumanity of animal hunting by human. Furthermore, she argues how human migration is destroying the natural habitats that belong to the animals. In the excerpt “Reading the River” from the autobiographical book Life on Mississippi, Mark Twain describes how he loses the ability to perceive the

I have been reading many poets online in the last few months and although I am occasionally intrigued by some the overall impression is similar to the days just before I abandoned browsing the works of living poets in bookstores—a huge amount of filler for an occasional flicker of interest. I am also reminded of the days when I purchased albums of pop music and realized the usual formula was one or maybe two good tracks buried in filler. Eventually I learned to wait for “greatest hits” collections. As the music business has evolved from the purchase of copies to a service, such strategies have become unnecessary. Perhaps bookstores, like record

William Wordsworth had felt quite lonely for a while and drifted about aimlessly without any memories to relish on. After wondering around the bay with his head down, he decided to look up at his surrounds which left him awestruck. From a glace, ten thousand daffodils lay there lining the coast of the bay. As the wind blew across the land, they danced in joy. The waves join in on the dancing, the flowers still outdid them in sparkling glee. Furthermore, they seemed to go on endlessly which left Wordsworth in disbelief. As Wordsworth lay on his couch “In vacant or in pensive

The reason I’ve chosen Report to Wordsworth as one of my poems to talk about is because it shows the relationship between people and nature, but in this poem it isn’t a good relationship between them because in the poem it talks about how we have damaged the Earth. In the poem it also has personification where the poet has personified Nature as a woman the poet has also used similes and metaphors.

A new chapter in the history of English poetry opened with the publication of “Lyrical Ballads” which were the results of Wordsworth and Coleridge friendship after the revolution. They included two different kinds of poetry in these ballets. Wordsworth talked about the subjects that were chosen from ordinary life and he
