Nature in Romantic Poetry
Captions available
The idea
Nature in Romantic poetry is a teacher, a mirror of the mind and a source of feeling from love to terror. The anchor notes that nature's awe-inspiring forms joined the poet to the sublime, and that images like the skylark and midnight frost unite mind and world.
In practice
Nature as teacher and mirror.
Where people slip
The poems are about the mind as much as nature.
