These three poems have a lot in common. They both express about nature and the human mind and soul. Also, they all contain Romanticism through their visual imagery, tone, and word choice. All of the piececs talk about power and who has the power. They show the readers that everyone has their own ideas and interpretations of things. They let everyone know how important it is to think for ones self and to express through ones own mind. They also contrast between good and bad as well as talk about their own personal experiences. They talk about gloom and disgust and then the jump right into happiness and joy. Another important key topic is the idea that most humans cannot understand the power and beauty of nature. This is also known as mysticism, the belief of humans not understanding. Percy Shelley believes in the power of nature. He talks about how life is a never ending cycle and that death is just a light sleep. He states that nature can bring innocent destruction. He relates nature to humans and how they are so similar. He says death is not a bad thing. Samuel Taylor Coleridge believes in the power of God and how God is ones teacher. He says we are all influenced by nature and that nature over sees things that humans cannot see. William Wordsworth also believes in the power of nature as well as joy and pleasure. He states that one living is just a form of sleep and how no human can even touch upon the beauty of nature. His piece touches more upon his own experience and digs deeper into humans minds and souls.
