William Wordsworth is universally recognized as a great poet of Nature. But he was not content to be thought as poet of Nature only, singing the sensuous bliss of a life lived in natural surroundings, like Cowper in The task: “God made the country, and Man Made the town”. Wordsworth is an outstanding philosophical poet, whose ultimate theme was not Nature only, but the heart of Man also. And the poetry of man took in his hands a rapid development as the poetry of Nature. Whereas Robert Frost is also a great poet of Nature but he is even greater as a poet of man. His landscapes are all landscape with human figures. Frost himself once remarked that he had hardly written two poems without a human being in them. He has written on almost every subject. He has illuminated things as common as a woodpile and as common as a Prehistoric pebble, as natural as a bird singing in its sleep and as ‘mechanistic’ as a revolt of a factory worker. On the other hand, Wordsworth’s poetry shows how human beings fit into the midst the interplaying forces of Nature. He believes that there is a pre-existing harmony between the mind of Man and Nature. Both the poets Wordsworth as a Romantic and Frost as a Modern, have different attitudes towards Nature and its relation to human beings.

In this article I have analyzed Wordsworth as a Romantic poet, influenced by beauty of nature, and painting life through the colorful brushes of nature, using the hues of imagination. Many critics have judged him as a poet, dealing with inner feelings and healing nature. Actually Wordsworth is much more than this. He has been an ardent lover of nature, sensitive towards humanity, and the life around him. Here I will discuss different approaches of Wordsworth towards nature, He saw nature, felt nature, and wrote nature but we can see that nature in Wordsworth’s hands is like a mirror, through which we can see life, is like a spring, through which all types of emotions flow and these emotions are so diverse that we never get bored. Nature – according to Wordsworth can be discussed under following headings.

The world of nature is very important to study of Frost's poetry. By using nature as a background of his poems, Frost clearly demonstrates meaning and values of life and often depicts some treatment of nature and the social situation that have included a characteristic portrayal of humanity. This study enables us to understand Frost's poetical theme and values that would explain his hidden voice of nature and examines human inner mind, exposing its conflicts and harmony through it. Some critics have identified him as a terrifying poet and others labeled him a pessimistic poet or, a dark naturalist. However, he has a constant vision of nature throughout the poems. More than anything else, the speaker of his poems uses sign and symbol of nature that take an identity of others. Furthermore, this study discusses his series of concrete images which echo his poetry and intensify clarification of human life on the conceptions of the world of nature.

Love for nature is one of the perennial characteristics perceived in Romantic poetry.

Robert Frost is arguably the greatest American poet of 20 th Century and if there is any truth to Emerson's maxim "to be great is to be misunderstood," then definitely Robert Frost is great as he is one of the most misunderstood poets.

Most of the scholars are agreeing with the fact that William Wordsworth is rightly the greatest poet of the countryside and of the life of nature in its all manifestations and beauty of nature. He has rightly considered physical aspects as well as spiritual aspects of human life on this planet. However, poets earlier to William Wordsworth like Burns, Cowper, Crabbe and Goldsmith had exhibited a fine appreciation for the beauties of nature. Nevertheless, we can't ignore that they were adorers of nature's external charms without having any mystical and philosophical approach to its inner life and spiritual message. It was William Wordsworth who revealed the inner soul of nature in his poems and to make it a better teacher than moral philosopher of the present and past. Most of the poems written by William Wordsworth fall within the category of poets of nature and a lot of his poems express a sense of humanity and love with mankind and nature. In this paper the researcher has revealed the fact that William Wordsworth is a poet of nature above all.

Among the Romantic poets William Wordsworth has a unique appellation as the poet of nature. A large bulk of his poetry centres round the theme of nature, its preservation, its rehabilitation and its motherly affection for all human beings. According to Wordsworth nature is a great universal resort for peace and solitude. If Coleridge saw nature as an auditorium of supernatural things, if Shelley saw nature as a preserver and destroyer, if Keats found a storehouse of sensuous beauty in nature, Wordsworth found nature to be a temple where he worships his deity. As De Quincey observes, "Wordsworth had passion for Nature fixed in his blood". In Tintern Abbey his philosophy of nature is summarized: '…..Well pleased to recognize www.researchscholar.co.in Impact Factor 0.793 (IIFS)

The concept of nature having the connectedness to imagination in romantic poetry, stressing the faculty of imagination to get access to a kind of knowledge that cannot be provided by other means, the senses or rationality. This concept was initiated and developed only during the romantic period. The conceptualization of imagination in poetry as a tool to understand reality that indicates a change in the concept of poetic imagination in the modern period that is also prevailing in the poetry of current romanticists. In contemporary poetry and literature, modes of imagination are being used namely as; prosaic imagination, pictorial imagination, fancy imagination, fancy-realistic imagination and poetic imagination. In the concluding remarks, the researchers can say that William Wordsworth as romantics urges that a union with nature is what frees the mind from the stir and thrust of its own dark emotions in this materialistic world. Poetical imagination in poetry remains as important as it ever was, although now it is comprehensive from the faculty by which we engage the world to the faculty by which we take our stand on why that engagement might matter in the materialistic world as well as the spiritual world of thought.

Nature Oriented Verse: An Ecopoetic Critical Review of Romantic Poetry Sabrina Abdulkadhom Abdulridha Jelal, Department of English, College of Education for Human Sciences, Al-Zahraa University for Women, Iraq The concept of nature in literary works is not altogether a new phenomenon. It has been spotted in the earliest works of literature and has been a concept that poets approach, revealing how they perceive nature and what kind of relationship they might share. With every scientific discovery, however, an impact on the human mind may reframe the manner of perception. The twentieth century has witnessed a drastic increase in scientific studies that reveal the impact of humans on the natural environment, which in turn effected the way people think about the relationship between human societies and nature. With new perceptions of viewing nature, the way people narrate stories and write poetry has been changing as well. That is why the manner and aims of how nature has been approached and analyzed in poetry has drastically changed in today’s world. One of the most common eras that witnessed a wide use of nature is Romantic Age. This presentation shall analyze and evaluate Romantic poetry according to the most recent types of literary criticism; “ecocriticism” showing thereby if it is possible to categorize the poetic productions during this era under the means of “ecopoetry.” Keywords: Ecopoetry, Nature, Ecocriticism, Romanticism, Global Warming The Sixth International Conference on Languages, Linguistics, Translation and Literature 9-10 October 2021 , Ahwaz For more information, please visit the conference website: WWW.LLLD.IR

This paper is a comparative ecocritical investigation considering the relationship between man and nature in cross-cultural contexts as reflected in the poetry of two great admirers of nature in England and Malaysia: William Wordsworth and Ghulam Sarwar Yousuf. Both poets have composed poetry that strengthens man's bonds with nature and inspires environmental consciousness. Their nature poetry has been previously studied from different individual perspectives, but none has approached it comparatively from an ecocritical stylistic viewpoint. This study aims at analyzing selected nature poetry to identify the unique philosophy of nature both poets adopted, highlighting the artistic and aesthetic values their poetry are teeming with. The study demonstrates the cognitive development of the poets' environmental consciousness through three phases of attitudes towards nature; the physical, the intellectual and the mystical. Using major ecocritical concepts like ecocentrism, symbiotic interrelationship and ecological consciousness, the study adopts a comparative stylistic approach to scrutinize linguistic and literary representation of nature in the selected poems. It identifies the similarities and differences between both poets concluding that despite differences in their times, places, cultures, language and style, there is an affinity between both poets in their treatment towards nature. The present study responds to the enormous need for literary-linguistic investigation of leitmotifs of nature across geographical, cultural, and linguistic contexts as a means of facilitating environmental sensitivity and sensibility.
