Three poems

The three poems have a lot more in common than I originally thought they would. They are both constantly mentioning nature and the human mind. This is an example of showing romanticism because they are showing passion for nature. When reading through these mentions, as the reader, I see the many visuals the author created for me. Many of the powerful words show that the author took time to choose the words wisely. Each of the pieces mention power and what they think has the power. Nature, or God? This is showing the reader that it's okay to have your own idea on your own things without being wrong. Each poem also talks about the differences between good and bad and the authors even embed their own experiences with good and bad times. Percy Shelley believes that all of the power is in nature, and some people called him atheist because of this. He believes that life is beautiful, while death is also beautiful. However, death is just a light sleep, and it's not a very big deal because everyone ends up "sleeping" in the long run. On the other hand, Samuel Taylor Colderidge believes that God has the power of everyone and God is also the teacher of everyone. However, he also intertwines nature into it as well. William Wordsworth states that no human can even touch upon the beauty of nature. He talks more about what happened throughout his life, and it is more relatable to human life, because it is based upon more reality than anything else.
