Are beautiful and fair.”
10. The period of Sense His passionate love for nature. Intellectuality was not there. Nature provided him true inspiration “The sounding contract haunted me like a passion, The tall rock, The mountain and deep gloomy woods, Their colour and their forms were then to me. An appetite : A feeling and a love.”
11. The Period of Imagination He achieved morality from nature. Nature : A perfect educator of man. “Daffodills” and “Lucy Poems” are the best examples.
