How sweet is the Shepherd's sweet lot!

From the morn to the evening he strays;

He shall follow his sheep all the day,

And his tongue shall be filled with praise.

For he hears the lamb's innocent call,

And he hears the ewe's tender reply;

He is watchful while they are in peace,

For they know when their Shepherd is nigh.

- William Blake

“The primary imagination I hold to be the living power and prime agent of all human perception, and a repetition in the finite of the external act of creation of the infinite I AM. The secondary I consider as an echo of the former, coexisting with the conscious will, yet still identical with the primary in the kind of its agency, and differing only in degree, and in the mode its operation.”

One impulse from the vernal wood

Can teach you more of man

Of moral, evil and good

Than all the sages can.

Romantic Poetry: Characteristics

Carpe Diem

  • Romantic poets believed that the present was the most important.
  • Most of them had a Christian background, so they thought that they had only one life.

Emphasis on one person's experience

  • The most important is the miseries, despairs and personal stories of the poets.
  • Romantic poetry is against the objectivity of neoclassical poetry.

Nature, not Science

  • Nature had a pivotal position in their poetry.
  • Nature for them is a source of inspiration, satisfaction and happiness.

John Keats

I have been half in love with easeful Death,

Call’d him soft names in many a mused rhyme,

To take into the air my quiet breath;

More value to imagination than logic

  • Imagination is a part and parcel of romantic poets like John Keats, Samuel Coleridge and P.B Shelley.
  • They discredited the influence of reason and intellect in any form in their poetry.

William Wordsworth

Samuel Coledrige
