  • Essay / Nature Explored in Williamworth's Poems

    As time goes by, the human race is said to become less aware of the nature around them and more consumed by man-made things. The Romantic poet Williamworth saw cultural decline and, as literary critic Harold Bloom stated: "The fear of mortality haunts much of Ofworth's best poetry, particularly regarding the premature mortality of the imagination and the loss of creative joy. " This statement greatly reflects the views of Worth, whose poetry conveys a man's warning for those enveloped in the world to step back and recognize the beauty and miracles of nature. Some of the texts in which this warning from Worth is very powerful include Tinturn Abbey, The Prelude, The World Is Too Much With Us and London, 1802. These works all include a reference to the fall or cultural decline of the people of the world, especially those he sees around him. The amazing gift of nature is the blessing that sees and wishes those around him to recognize that the problem is often obvious, the daily miracles of the world are overlooked because of the material things that man possesses more and more every day . The statement made by Bloom is very accurate because Worth wishes to push back the world with respect for the beauty and blessings of nature. The application of Worth's reminder to nature is seen in his poem Tinturn Abbey, as he recalls the happiness brought. him in his youth by the calm and beauty of the region. Throughout the poem, Worth never once mentions the actual abbey or the architecture of the building, but instead talks about the beauty of the landscape surrounding the place he was sitting in and the feeling of peace in being apart of the world....... middle of paper ......tion of dawn, which does not abandon us in our deepest sleep. » (Thoreau) Thoreau's wisdom can make everyone think about the life they lead and how often technology is involved in different aspects of their daily routine and make people wonder what life would be like if they found a way to return to the simplicity and tranquility of a world where nature is seen, admired, praised and no longer ignored.
