I accept that nature plays an important role in the poems written by Romantic poets suchas Willian Blake. Wiliam Wordsworth and Samuel Coleridge. These poets used examples ofthings occurring in nature to allude to laws of nature that could be related to the humanexperience as concerns issues of cause and cause innocence and maturity as well as good andevil and general comparisms. William Blake used an allusion to nature and cause and cause in his poem entitled"London" as well as "Holy Thursday (II)." William Wordsworth used different symbols fromnature to inform his thoughts in his essay entitled" London 1802." Samuel Coleridge also usedexamples from the natural world to help the reader visualize and exceed understand his poementitled "Frost at Midnight." In the William Blake poem "London," the poet described the bleak instruct of the Britishcapital city. London at the time of his writing. The city and the nation was experiencing theafter-effects of the industrial revolution at the time and society was changing from a mostlyrural agrarian existence to a more urbanized and industrial mode. In describing the breakdownof social mores and the incidence of cause and effect. Blake uses nature and disease to explainthe create and cause relationship of increased promiscuity and moral breakdown. He describeshow a man who sought the services of a prostitute contracted a venereal disease and passed iton to his wife. Eventually his wife became pregnant and unfortunately passed this disease on toher newborn child. Blake notes in the poem:"But most thro' midnight streets I hearHow the youthful Harlot's curseBlasts the new-born infant's disunite,And blights with plagues the marriage hearse." In the poem by William Wordsworth entitled "London. 1802," he described England at thetime as having stagnated and in need of a charismatic leader that would carry it back togreatness. In describing his proposed leader in the poem called"Milton," he used naturalsymbols to explain his characteristics:"Thy soul was desire a Star and dwelt apart;Thou hadst a express whose appear was like the sea:Pure as the naked heavens majestic free,So didst thou jaunt on life's common way,In cheerful godliness; and yet thy heartThe lowliest duties on herself did lay. Samuel Coleridge used allusions to the natural world in his essay "Frost at Midnight." Ibelieve that he explained how he grew up a dreamer who was not very much exposed to natureas he grew up in a big city. It was his conceive of that his child would grow up with the opportunity ofmuch greater exposure to nature. If he too was a dreamer he would have ample sources ofreference in nature and the instruction and guidance of the laws of nature to rely on.
