ROLE OF NATURE IN ENGLISH POETRY

Nature has always taken an excellent part in people’s lives, and therefore the universe, as a whole, was seen as a wonderfully ordered system of concentric circles where the planet, and nature itself, was at its center. Each of the circles corresponded to the orbit of known planets, with the celebs at the outer level. Nature, as an idea, was seen as a deep state of harmony between itself and its inhabitants. In nature, time has had little or no effect on everything that it contains, and also the relativity of time was proven by Einstein, everything grows and dies simply because it's to come back back to life again. Nature is best described by the Heraclits’ philosophy panta rei, meaning that everything flows, or everything is consistently changing, from the tiniest grain of sand to the celebrities within the sky. Also, nature is ideal, and its perfection is given by the link of all its elements. Nature is additionally Heaven’s reflection on Earth and anyone trying to disturb the natural order is taken into account evil. Man’s attempts to rule this world because it was his, have caused disturbances during this natural environment and this harmony has began to fail. Generally there have been two conflicting ways of watching nature. On one hand, the view inherited from the center Ages was that, since Adam and Eve’s ejection from Paradise, nature had become degraded and degrading. In the opposite hand, the Greek and Roman literature that inspired Renaissance writers often depicted pastoral life as more virtuous than city life. &or instance, Shakespeare’s writing is rich in natural imagery. The age of Enlightenment saw an explosion on interest in nature as an object of scientific study. Various philosophers, who has undertaken their entire work on nature, has shown a systematic angle of nature. The ordered perfection of the nature, he argued, presupposed the existence of God. For romantic poets like poet, nation countryside was a relentless source of poetic inspiration. At a time when industrialisation was starting to make its mark on the landscape within the style of growing cities and smoking factory chimneys, Britain’s few areas of wilderness took on an almost religious significance. &or most modernist writers, it had been the town that captured the imagination, for it had been here that the trendy world experienced most intensely. The modernist poet now not sought the solitude of the hills for his inspiration, preferring the bustle and see of the road, the cafe and therefore the metro. Anyway, the First World War had demonstrated how pastoral idyll may be transformed within the matter of hours into a landscape of complete destruction.
