The Natural World

Poets like other people try to get et their inspiration from several sources, and the natural world is one main resource of inspiration. They try to connect it to their works to in many ways, like romantics for example. Furthermore, this natural world is full of samples and images that a poet can admire and link it to his/her idea and link people’s minds to it when they read the poem.
In fact, Blake and the others admired the natural world and its beautiful creation by god, and they even digged into the details of it to enhance and decorate their romantic works. In fact, this world is the mirror that reflects the ideas and words that some poets want to say and highlight
God created this natural world with all its phenomenon , for people to set, look and wonder. It is something that has infinite resources and constant explorations and renewals. The sunrise, the colors, the plants and all the things around us are resources of inspiration that are created for a reason. The poet William Blake used the rose flower and linked it to what is in his mind. He compared and linked love to a rose that is infected by a worm that damages its bed from the inside. The rose will start to fall little by little because of this warm and finally die, but dead or alive it is still a rose. The poet linked his romantics to the life cycle of a rose that is dying. This poem demonstrated the importance of the natural world on the romantics during Blake’s generation
In another piece of poetry, the poet Samuel Coleridge used the natural world to describe the atmosphere he wanted the readers to imagine. Hence, in “Frost At Midnight” he described the quite nights and showed how dark it is and how silence can describe the whole scene. He linked the beginning of his work to the natural world again and went on with his poem with other examples of nature.
In conclusion, the natural world is the theme and the model that the poets used to test their theories on and without the nature, they might not be able to tell what in their minds to people and they will understand what they want by themselves and keep it within them only.
