Comparing The Works Of Wordsworth And Nas

Thousands of flowers swaying in the wind, lined up like stars in the night sky. Just the thought of nature brings a smile to my face. The two authors, John Muir and William Wordsworth have two different styles of writing, but they share their love of nature to help us appreciate nature. We have two beautiful writings, written by two naturalistic authors, Williams Wordsworth and John Muir. Both authors have different ways of explaining what nature means to them, but at the end of the day both pieces of work are beautifully and creatively written. Wordsworth and Muir express their meaningful relationship with nature using descriptive words and witty writing.

Nothing is more fascinating nor more compelling than the study of our own human condition. Often the most enthralling and alluring way of expressing the human condition can be found within the very literature we read, in particular, poetry. Poems are an expression of art; a way to simultaneously condense emotions in the pursuit of an ideal. One ideal of particular note is inspiration. So let me ask you this: if we live in a world where inspiration is so easy to come by through poetry, why is our world plagued with inequality and injustice? Why is it the case that race relations, racism and bigotry are never far from the surface? That, ladies and gentlemen, is my question to you. I’m your host James Pullen – welcome to Peace and Poetry.

The names of the poems are obviously different from each other. The theme for this poem states, individuals who feel excluded by racial nationality. The purpose is also different. It’s purpose is to inform about inequality. The poem is styled in a rhyme format.

First the explanation of the poem would be the starting ground into really analyzing what this is about. Do Not Go Gentle

Unlike society, Wordsworth does not see nature as a commodity. The verse "Little we see in Nature that is ours" (3), shows that coexisting is the relationship envisioned. This relationship appears to be at the mercy of mankind because of the vulnerable way nature is described. The verse "This Sea that bares her bosom to the moon" (5), gives the vision of a woman exposed to the heavens. In addition, the phrase "sleeping flowers"(7) might also describe how nature is being overrun unknowingly.

In my opinion, William Wordsworth and Charlotte Smith show us that if we fail to pay attention to nature and focus too much on wars and material wealth, we would destroy the beauty of the “nature that is ours” (ll. 3). The writers convey to show us that we are not on this earth to fight and spend money on material things, but we are here to appreciate the “bright Sea-line” (ll. 5) and experience “a joy serene” (ll.

I do not know how without being culpably particular I can give my Reader a more exact notion of the style in which I wished these poems to be written, than by informing him that I have at all times endeavored to look steadily at my subject; consequently, I hope that there is in these Poems little falsehood of description, and my ideas are expressed in language fitted to their respective importance. Something I must have gained by this practice, as it is friendly to one property of all good poetry, namely, good sense; but it has necessarily cut me off from a large portion of phrases and figures of speech which from father to son have long been regarded as the common inheritance of

Bringing forth the fact that Wordsworth finds such “tranquil restoration” when he reminisces over these fond times and sights that it would also inhibit in him a feeling of “unremembered pleasure.” And though Wordsworth finds no sense of absolution with modern society, he doesn’t hate it for what it is. In fact, he simply just gives off this feeling that he simply doesn’t belong in cities or towns and instead jells more into natures embrace. Another reading post by Jaqueline coincides with Wordsworth’s views of the natural world. This is on full display when she herself mentions that she can heavily relate to the component of memory that that uses nature as a backdrop to fuel “current joys, hopefulness for the future, a sense of wholeness, healing and a knowledge.” The appreciation of such a connection is breathtaking and harkens back to the “aspect more sublime.” (37) which we also discussed in depth during last week’s lecture session. Jaqueline also brings up the fact that Wortdsworth doesn’t “mourn” the fact he has lost that connection to nature, that he simply must be happy with both who he is and how his nature with the world around him has matured since those days have come and passed. Exhuming the idea that Wordsworth has come to terms with the mankind’s overall evolution and relationship with the natural world. That is a past point brought up in my C3

The poems “The Garden of Love” by William Blake and “The World Is Too Much with Us” by William Wordsworth are similar in a number of ways. Both authors were major figures in the Romantic age, so these works have similarities in theme, symbolism, and tone. An overarching theme of humanity’s mainstream practices tainting or otherwise ruining nature is present in these works. In “Garden,” Blake is horrified by how the garden has changed since he last saw it. A church now resides where he used to play and tombstones have replaced the pretty flower patches.

African American poetics has revolutionized the world of literature to offer various perspectives of the Black experience and Black consciousness. With an incredible amount of attention and detail to social, political, race, and resistance motifs, a fundamental aspect of African American poetry that is forgotten is—the focus of nature. The anthology Black Nature: Four Centuries of African American Poetry edited by Camille T. Dungy focuses on nature as a way to engage with past horrors and hardships and see the hope and promise of new life. In this anthology, Dungy collects one hundred eighty poems from ninety-three poets that give fresh and unique perspectives on American social and literary history to expand what the concept of nature poetry

Before Wordsworth began writing his revolutionary new style of poetry, all preceding poetry had a very different style. The reason these poems were classed as revolutionary was because he believed that romantic poetry should describe "incidents of common life" and ordinary people and were written in deliberately plain words. It was what

Wordsworth, like many beggars, is found outside of the house of the protagonist, only he comes with a much stranger request. He asks to look at the bees in the grugru trees of the boy’s yard. As odd as it is, B. Wordsworth divulges in the boy that he is “the greatest poet.” He spends the majority of his days admiring with his gaze the wonders of Nature; an assortment of bugs and even morning glories, and cries over them. We learn, from the curiosity of the boy, that the ‘B’ in the poet’s name stands for Black, and that his brother is “White Wordsworth” and they “share on heart.” White Wordsworth is the name given to the famed poet of the Romantic Age, Williams Wordsworth. Seeing that he calls him ‘White’ based on his skin colour, we can carefully deduce that ‘Black’ is not his real name. It is a name taken on by him. In the face of invasion, Black forsakes his Trinidadian identity and embraces a new, more ‘appropriate’ one, based on a traditional English poet. Like his ‘brother,’ we see the strong admiration for Nature in

During the New Year people would often undertake a change in their lives by trying not to do everything they would prior to that milestone. Although this analogy is not as extreme as the ending of the enlightenment, this is what poets John Keats and William Wordsworth did to completely turn away from that period. Not only did they change their lifestyles, but these Romantic expressivists managed to erase the beliefs and religions of the enlightenment and create their own truths and orders. John Keats and William Wordsworth shows Romantic expressivism by seeking meaning through nonreligious attributes, like poetry, to define what used to be a unanimous belief by substituting their own faith with given faiths. In Wordsworth’s “Lines Composed

Technological advancement and social "progress" were steps backwards for Wordsworth and thus he looked to the past for his inspiration.

Imagery has been one of the most pivotal movements in the cultural and intellectual history of English Literature. The comparison is not only among the works of their own rather it also includes the differences and traces of similarity with the works of others writers of different ages. The analysis is done by reading the actual text and interpreting the meaning by understanding the deep phrases hidden in the poetry. Different critics showed different aspects by their research. Some found out merits and some found out demerits in the works of Wordsworth and Coleridge. The merits includes uniqueness, healing power of poetry, and interpretation of their imagination for things whereas the demerits include slack of humour, lack of range and lyricism in their poetry. On a whole Wordsworth and Coleridge works have gained lot of interest and tempted many critics to write on their methods and strategies which they adopted in their work.
