arth and sky were used by Wordsworth to convey joy and freedom. After suffering from the loss of his brother, his poetry changed dramatically. Wordsworth then used the same nature words to describe misery and grief. This can be see in his poem Immortality Ode. The clouds that gather round the setting sun,/Do take a sober colouring from an eye/That hath kept watch oer mans mortality. This is a perfect example of how it is apparent to the reader the change in Wordsworth. He is still using nature, but now in a much more negative and sad way, as opposed to joyful and optimistic. Even in his later life and later poetry Wordsworth was still writing about nature. In one of Wordsworths later poems To Toussaint LOuverture it is evident that he is still looking to nature. Thou hast left behindPowers that will work for thee; air earth and skies;Theres not a breathing or the common windThat will forget thee; thou hast great allies,Thy friends are exultations, agonies,And love and mans unconquerable mind.In this poem Wordsworth conveys to the reader the same thing that he did in his earliest works. He proclaimed, almost as gladly as he had hailed in the early triumphs of the revolution, that nature is a joint agent with man in the struggle for freedom and liberty (Lacey 97). This just proves that Wordsworths love and belief of nature was a part of him. It was something that he truly believed in and wanted to teach and share. In almost all of his poetry Wordsworth used nature. He used other aspects of life such as religion and revolutions, but he always surrounded those with nature. Wordsworth reflected the society of his time and portrayed it to his audience and he has helped a new generation learn about the society of his time and his love for nature and the things that he believes contributed to it. Through this his wish to teach is fulfilled and his love of nature is shared. ...
