Despite the differences in time periods and their varying cultural backgrounds, they all convey deep messages about the struggles with worshipping their faith or religion, handling ideas surrounding mortality and dealing with life’s regrets formed by adverse situations. Both Gerald Manley Hopkins and William Blake explore the conflicts

Wordsworth and “God’s Grandeur” by Gerard Manley Hopkins both present a common perspective of society and nature. While both poems are about a common subject, the poets write in 2 different ways.

In “The Oven Bird”, the poet Robert Frost uses metaphor and anaphora to create a reflective tone. Both use their devices to underline the idea of nature's death as a depiction of something much deeper and convey the theme that as time goes on, we have the option to focus on what's coming, or we can live in the moment. In the “Spring and Fall”, Hopkins uses diction, imagery, and
