Answer to Question 1

As nature captivated Romantic artists, poets especially found solace, inspiration, and self-discovery in its shifting moods and rhythms. To the Romantics, nature was the wellspring of divinity, the phenomenon that bound humankind to God. The natural landscape, unspoiled and unpolluted, revealed the oneness of God and the universe. William Wordsworth, for example, described poetry as the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings, which takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquillity. Nature, he claimed, could restore to human beings their untainted, childhood sense of wonder. Moreover, through nature (as revealed to us by way of the senses), one might commune with the elemental and divine forces of the universe. Wordsworth's verse reflects his preference for lyric poetry,whichlike art song describes deep personal feeling. Other Romantic poets, such as Percy Bysshe Shelley, John Keats, and William Blake, also embraced nature as the source of sublime truth, albeit in different, individual ways.
