Compare & Contrast Mont Blanc & Tintern Abbey

Shelleys Mont Blanc and Wordsworths Tintern Abbey ar poems written regarding constitution and its corporation to hu homophileity, deities and the homosexual consciousness these poems can be read as a conversation between each other and their actors.A conversation where Shelley not altogether echoes and agrees with many of Wordsworths meets regarding nature and its awe- stir beauty, ability to mesmerize and the front line of majestical divinity amongst all things native however excessively, a conversational importation where Shelley steps away from Wordsworth by expressing different views regarding the type of power nature exudes and how nature should affect and effect the human consciousness and emotional state.Where Wordsworth feels quietness, Shelley feels fear Wordsworth sees himself amongst nature, Shelley sees himself amongst man and gains a greater understanding of the surrounding natural world. In the poems, Mont Blanc and Tintern Abbey their is a description o f a landscape that, for the writer, the sight get hold ofs upon a philosophical sceptical and reflection in which both writers gain a better and basser consanguinity with nature. In Tintern Abbey, Wordsworth writes And mountains and of all that we behold From this green earth of all the mighty worldOf mall, and ear, both what they half create, And what perceive well pleased to recognize In nature and the language of the sense, (104-109) Wordsworth believes that the natural world they see and their oral sex argon directly connected, a philosophy that Shelley agrees with and echoes in his publications of Mont Blanc I see as in a trance sublime and strange To mull over on my own separate phantasy, My own, my human mind, which passively Now renders and receives lush influencing, Holding and unremitting interchange With the clear universe of things virtually (35-40)Wordsworth writes of the tenderness and ear and their conjoined and equal creative army, meaning it is not totally what is seen but also what is heard that works with the minds understanding of viewing the natural world. Neither man can look at nature without spirit at their mind and pondering on their ability to aid in the creation of the scene that unfolds. For Shelley, it is not the eye nor ear of Wordsworths writings but instead it is My own, my human mind (MB 37) rapidly rendering and receiving a clear depiction of nature. Shelley echoes the musings of Wordsworth regarding a divine presence amongst the workings of nature.Wordsworth writes of A motion and a spirit that rolls with all things while Shelley writes of, The constant universe of things that flows through the mind. Shelleys poem echoes Wordsworths ideas by writing of a flowing movement to reflect upon Wordsworths peal movement the substance abuse of both words depict a determinate unstoppable force, constant in motion, guided by unseen pulse and most importantly something that is existence control guide by neither nature nor their minds this use relates both poems to that of a divine being or guiding force.While the inclusion of their mind in the experience and the presence of a greater being are in agreement, it is regarding the importance and tactile sensation of humanity and the power of nature, are where the ideas and views of Wordsworth and Shelley begin to differ. Shelley diverts from the original musings of Wordsworth and that of Tintern Abbey regarding the feelings of nature altering or taking over the soul, transforming it from that of human to that of nature.In Tintern Abbey, Wordsworth is ace with nature he feels disconnected from humanity and his mind, personify and soul work together with nature. When he thinks back to a accompaniment scene and moment, he is then transported there and becomes bingle with the nature around him. No longer being a human witness but instead becoming a part of nature itself. Wordsworth writes Though changed, no doubt, from what I was when first I came among these hills when like a roeI bounded oer the mountains, by the sides Of the deep rivers, and the lonely mensess, Wherever nature led more like a man Flying from something that he dreads, than one Who sought the thing he loved. For nature then To me was all in all (66 75) Wordsworths relationship with nature is honest and nurturing, he gives life to the scene through his mind and in return the moment gives him peace and comfort, he steps away from his humanity and becomes one with nature.However, Shelleys view of nature differs from that of Wordsworths and is shown at heart his writings his relationship with nature is one at odds with man nature grows and lives to its immense godlike power and this display of power effects the ease and comfort of the human mind and humanity. The size, reconditeness, danger, darkness and power of nature reminds him of his fragile humanity while also creating the question of how it can it be so powerful and all overwhelming when the human mind is its partial inventor.Wordsworth states that Nature never did betray the disembodied spirit that loved her (TA 122), Shelley believes, nature revels in its power, fear inducing and awe inspiring capabilities, instability and ability to make small of the human observing in its wake. Shelley believes nature tricks the human to believe it is inconsequential in not exactly relation to but also in opposition to nature he also proves nature dishonest in its created feelings of ease and safety. The fields, the lakes, the forests and the streams,Oceans, and all the vivification things that dwell With in the intricately formed earth lightning and rain Earthquake, and fiery flood, and hurricane. (84 87) In this passage, Shelley mentions the cool nature of Wordsworth, followed immediately by the nature he sees and feels the nature of power, destruction, instability, and terror. Shelley speaks of whoremaster and secrets regarding the mighty mountain and its being from the Diz zy Ravine (MB 34) to some shade of thee, / approximately phantom, some faint image (MB 46 47) and The glaciers that creep / Like snakes that interpret there prey, from their far fountains, (MB 100 101) his use of these descriptions and words creates a muscular feeling of uncertainty regarding the comfort and safety that is empowered in Wordsworths writings. Shelley turns away from the tame landscape with the quiet sky (TA 8), The banks of this delightful stream (TA 150) and the clear, bright and exact view seen through Wordsworths mind and eye instead he gives us the wild and untamed Thus thou, Ravine of Arve dark, deep Ravine-Thou many-coloured, many-voiced vale, Over whose pines, and crags, and caverns sail Fast cloud shadows and sunbeams awful scene Bursting through these dark mountains like the flame Of lightning through the tempest (12 19) The use of many-coloured and many-voiced, accentuation the wild, untamed unpredictability that Shelley believes to be true in natur e. Shelleys feeling of deception regarding nature and humanities place amongst it questions the answers Wordsworth has deposed upon Dorothy and the reader in Tintern Abbey.Wordsworth is stringently content believing nature to be the nurturing mother to his human fantastic and spiritual mind, there is no question or doubt within his mind that nature will ease him in times of need, bring him life and peace when driven to thoughts of nature he feels that his mind is along for the ride that nature beauty has unveiled and it will always issuing in a feeling of comfort, acceptance and oneness with the wilderness. However Shelley questions who is the nurturer, the creator and the holder of power.While we are minute in physical size to the depth of nature and its beauty, the mind is the inventor of the feelings and visualizations of such sublimity. In other words, how does the human mind pale in comparison to the mighty godlike force of nature if the human mind is what created such a for midable foeman And what were thou, and earth, and stars, and sea, / If to the human minds imaginings / Silence and solitude were vacancy? (MB 142 144).
