Compare And Contrast Wordsworth And Muir

Two talented literary authors William Wordsworth and John Muir express their emotions towards through their writing; their belletristic stories depict how their experiences with nature positively impacted their lives while giving them constant memories that will stay with them forever. Both Wordsworth and Muir used syntax and diction to verbalize their passionate relationship towards nature.

John Muir describes the different trees react in the wind, and the music they make while the wind blows through the branches and leaves of the trees in that in the chapter “A Wind-Storm in the Forest” from his book The Mountains of California 1894. John Muir tells the audience that there is two kinds of trees in the Sierra forests that has never been blown over are the Juniper and the Dwarf Pine of the summit peaks. The trees have roots the grip the hillside giving them more support. He tells about the most beautiful storm in December 1874 while he was hiking. He heard trees falling every two or three minutes. He tells about the trees bowing to the ground. The music that is made from the sounds of the storm are the branches booming like a

While both poets Muir and Wordsworth wrote about the happy feelings that they have towards nature the beautiful outdoors or what some people may say Mother Nature, some of which the feelings are the same and some that are different as they speak of the different plants.

In the romantic era, British authors and poets focused on nature and its influence. Two of those poets, Charlotte Smith and William Wordsworth, wrote many pieces on the beauty of nature and their personal experiences with the beaches of England. In “Far on the sands” and “It is a beauteous evening,” Smith and Wordsworth describe their respective experiences on the shore at sunset. Both authors use structure, theme, allusions, and imagery to effectively convey their perceptions of nature. While the sonnets share a setting and the topics of nature and tranquility, Smith’s has a focus on introspection and Wordsworth’s is centered around religion. These have different focuses which achieve different effects on the reader.

Have you ever wondered what is the same and different between Teddy Bridgewater and Aaron Rodgers? Teddy Bridgewater is on the MN Vikings whereas Aaron Rodgers is on the Green Bay Packers. They both play in the NFL and are both quarterbacks. Some people like Aaron Rodgers more than Teddy Bridgewater. And some people like Teddy Bridgewater more.

Albert Einstein spoke of nature and its value when he said, “Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.” As Einstein pointed out, by looking into nature you could discover something new about yourself and the world around you. John Muir and William Wordsworth both discovered joy when they looked deep into nature. This joy gave them a new perspective on nature and life and they each expressed this joy through different works of writing. Both authors have a unique outlook on nature and its impact as well as different thoughts on how to share their relationships; Muir used diction and connotation to show his relationship in his essay “The Calypso Borealis” where Wordsworth used tone and syntax in his poem “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud”.

Henry David Thoreau once said, “It 's not what you look at that matters, it 's what you see.” William Wordsworth, the author of the poem I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud, and John Muir, author of the essay The Calypso Borealis, have proved this in their works by looking at nature and portraying it differently but beautifully in each piece. They have been able to express their relationships with nature differently through choices about format, such as if a rhyme scheme will be used; their word choice, like choosing to give something a specific name; as well as through literary devices used, including tone, mood, and irony, but, even though they made many different choices, their works are both able to make nature seem beautiful and mysterious.

Nature has always had a role in providing for humanity. However, what does it provide for humanity? The poems that Christopher Marlowe, Sir Walter Raleigh, and William Williams present touches upon the topic of this. To help support their perspective on how nature provides for humanity, and what it provides, the three of them use both imagery and structure to go into detail as to why their perspective is so.

Unlike society, Wordsworth does not see nature as a commodity. The verse "Little we see in Nature that is ours" (3), shows that coexisting is the relationship envisioned. This relationship appears to be at the mercy of mankind because of the vulnerable way nature is described. The verse "This Sea that bares her bosom to the moon" (5), gives the vision of a woman exposed to the heavens. In addition, the phrase "sleeping flowers"(7) might also describe how nature is being overrun unknowingly.

“Continuous as the stars that shine and twinkle on the milky way, they stretched in never-ending line along the margin of a bay: ten thousand saw I at a glance, tossing their heads in sprightly dance.” This beautiful and lovely description of the daffodils portrayed in “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud” helps the reader to envision what Wordsworth saw while he was out walking. Such a description makes a reader’s imagination flow and encaptures a reader. Another story that catches a reader’s attention in a similar way to “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud” is the text “Calypso Borealis”. Authors William Wordsworth and John Muir both write beautiful descriptions of nature that pull readers in and allow them to see the wonders of nature through the authors’

The hustle and bustle of modern day prevents people from truly contemplating the meanings of their life. People nowadays have little time to become one with nature and detach themselves from technology. Two poets who captured the beauty of connecting with nature are Charlotte Smith and William Wordsworth. Smith in her piece “Written on the Banks of the Arun” describes in a cold and melancholy manner what she experiences near the Arun bank. Meanwhile, Wordsworth in his piece “Lines Composed a Few Miles above Tintern Abbey” describes in a peaceful tone his feelings while sitting near the Banks of the Wye. Both Smith and Wordsworth pieces contain similar underlying meaning, symbolism, imagery, and setting.

Nature has an undefinable meaning as the theme is utilised in literature, and it has been a topic of reflection within the Romanticists since the beginning of the era. Romanticism and nature and inextricably linked ideas. Poets; Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman wrote during the romantic era, and both drew heavily from aspects of nature in their work. Nature can be paralleled against several things, including humanity and the idea of life and death. The contrast between the natural world and the artificial world, and what this means for society, is also strongly eluded to in Dickinson and Whitman’s poems. Each poet uses nature as the backbone to their poetry in several instances. Dickinson’s, “Hope is the Thing with Feathers”, (Dickinson, 19) and “My Life Has Stood A Loaded Gun”, (Dickinson, 69) are strong examples of this. Whitman’s, “Song of Myself”, (Whitman, 29) and, “When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom’d”, (Whitman, 255) are also poems that show the connection between nature and romanticism. Poets, Dickinson and Whitman engage with romanticism in a creative and constructive manner through the utilisation of the natural world.

American literature has depended upon nature since its very beginning. In this paper, the writer will give detailed explanations on how “Nature” by Ralph Waldo Emerson, “Walden” by Henry David Thoreau, and Fitful Flame” by Walt Whitman, all take roles as a part of American literature. Nature is very difficult to understand yet it’s very sophisticated. It contains different sorts of animals, plants, and interesting things like night and day and how much it changes when day turns to night. Rain and sunlight play an important role as well.

In this excerpt from “The Prelude”, Wordsworth’s speaker exhibits three major responses to his experiences in nature. Each response is quite different from the previous and just as- if not more- vividly represented.

In the Grasmere Journals, Dorothy had written that “the two and a half years she lived with William in Grasmere were the happiest in my whole life” (Wordsworth and Woof, 2002). They were impossible to separate and William gave her life meaning. William was Dorothy’s Stimulus. William gained his ideas from Dorothy innovative nature in the Grasmere Journals. They both understood each other and that will now be discussed in depth. William Wordsworth’s poetry focused on themes and events which were recorded in Dorothy’s journal “The Grasmere Journal”. Dorothy wrote in her journal about days that she spent outside in England with William, and two years later, that same event would be transformed into a poem by William. Both poets have written about
