William Wordsworth wrote in a time when society and its functions were beginning to rapidly pick up. The poem that he Composed, "Lines A Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey," gave him a chance to reflect upon his quick paced life by taking a moment to slow down and absorb the beauty of nature that allows one to "see into the life of things" (616-49). Nature played a major role in this poet's life but it was not all about his physical senses that he took as reality. It was due to the fact that he was a "worshipper of Nature" (616-52) and he knew that "nature never did betray" (617-122) him. And those thoughts were what had comforted and encouraged him to connect with nature through his mind. He wanted to declare to his readers that his mind not only receives emotion and knowledge from the outside world, but it also "half creates" by i

A fellow poet that agreed with Keats to an extent was Percy Bysshe Shelley. Shelly as well expressed a love for nature, but moreover nature in motion and the constant action of his surrounding world. He was very impressed by the forces of nature and their ability to change things on a tremendous level, where as he felt that many people take such things for granted. Shelley was a true romantic in the sense that his faith in the church and the Christian God were petty. Shelley's works indicate that his faith lied in the natural order of things as they eventually became over time and the true power of love and beauty in the universe.

A fellow poet and friends of Wordsworth, that shared similar thoughts and was Samuel Taylor Coleridge. One of Coleridge's most famous works is "Kubla Khan." "Kubla Khan" is a poem about the creative powers of the poetic mind. It is believed that Coleridge created "Kubla Khan" when he was in a deep sleep that was induced by the use of medication taken for his ill health. He fell asleep while reading Purcha's Pilgrimage about building of Kubla Khan's palace and garden. Through the use of vivid imagery Coleridge reproduces a paradise-like vision of the landscaped kingdom created by Kubla Khan. The poem changes from the 1st person narrative to speaker. Then the speaker attempts to recreate a vision he saw. Through the description of the visions imagined and the speaker's visions the poem tells of the creation of an enchanted beautiful world, a result of power from the human imagination.

ts own perception "of eye, and ear" (617-106). One example is when he had described returning to the Wye and how it had brought him in a "blessed mood" it was not because he had actually returned to a location, it was how Wordsworth's mind had shaped the experience.

Shelley wrote "Ode to the West Wind," on a day when the weather was unpredictable and windy, the poem reflects the mood of the weather and expresses Shelley's desire for creativeness and intellect. The first section of the poem focuses on the description of the colorful autumn leaves being stirred by the wind. The l
