Keats was inspired to write “Ode to Autumn” after walking through the water meadows of Winchester‚ England‚ in an early autumn evening of 1819. The poem has three stanzas of eleven lines describing the taste‚ sights and sounds of autumn. Much of the third stanza‚ however‚ is dedicated to diction‚ symbolism‚ and literary devices with decisively negative connotations‚ as it describes the end of the day and the end of autumn. The author makes an intense description of autumn at least at first sight

Analysis of “Ode to the West Wind” I chose the poem Ode to The West Wind by Percy Bysshe Shelley because I was attracted to the many images Shelley painted in the poem. Nature is a very interesting and powerful force and the way Shelley portrays it in this poem really caught my attention. Shelley also emphasizes the importance of words and their potential impact on a society if shared. This is a concept I found quite intriguing. In my research‚ I found that when Shelley wrote this poem he was

Before one can undertake a comparative study of these two poet’s philosophies‚ their background and sentiments must be panoramically surveyed. However‚ due to time constraints‚ I will focus on the little that time permits me to. Wordsworth writes in a subjective style. He examines his state of mind or consciousness before attempting to write a creative work. This is largely why he fell in love in nature and became a natureworshipper. He believes in a primodial relationship between the mind of man

Romantic poet‚ William Wordsworth‚ and Folk singer-songwriter‚ Joni Mitchell‚ both comment about their respective "worlds" and the way these worlds have been perceived or treated. Although both artists are from a different time in history‚ their work somehow cast off the anchors of their own eras with material that continually remains relevant through generations of listeners and readers. Mitchell’s "Big Yellow Taxi" and William Wordsworth’s "The World is too Much With Us" are perfect examples.

The names Keats and Wordsworth are to a certain extent tantamount to Romanticism‚ especially from the perspective of modern academics. To many‚ Wordsworth and Coleridge are seen as the fathers of English Romanticism as they were the first to publish literary works that were seen as romantic with Lyrical Ballads in 1798.
