What’s so important about nature in romanticism?
I’m doing an essay on elements of romantic poetry. While I was prying through the poet’s importance of recognizing nature through his poetry, I kind of hit writer’s block. I know that romantics believed that God was manifested in nature…but why else was it so important? I wanted something more profound than just its beauty and tranquility…but was that all the romantic really saw in nature?
Perhaps they see elements of their own lives in nature, or the lives of others. Or ideas.
When I see I rose, I think of love and pain.
When I see the sky, I think of depth and infinity.
When I see trees, I think of time and age.
Maybe they saw nature as a manifestation of God AND symbols for other things in life.
