Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem, "To a Beautiful Spring in a Village" represents the Romantic Movement in that the poet expresses appreciation for the "sweet stream." Coleridge is also expounding on his experience of the stream, which is an example of how the Romantic Writers wrote. The poem celebrates the stream with its "friendly banks" and "pebbled falls," focusing on every detail and finding joy in all of them. (Perkins 397)
William Wordsworth's poem, "Lines Written in Early Spring" is an excellent example of Romantic verse as it, too, places a great deal of respect and awe upon nature. In this poem, Wordsworth laments what "man has made of man" while rejoicing in the beauty of nature. The poet is emphasizing the workings of nature when he thinks that "every flower enjoys the air it breathes" and the birds around him "hopped and played" with their every movement seeming to be a "thrill of pleasure." Wordsworth's contemplation places the beauty and simplicity against the nature of man. (197)

For example, in the short poem, "The Lilly," simply announces that nothing can "stain" the beauty of the lily. This poem also illustrates the stylistic use of rhyming poetry to create a rhythm within the poem. (62)
Percy Shelley was another Romantic writer who enjoyed the beauty of nature and was able to capture it in poetry like no other. His poem, "Love's Philosophy" is an elegant blend of the beauty of love with the beauty of nature. By acknowledging that "nothing in the world is single" Shelley wishes that his spirit could mingle with the spirit of the one he loved. Shelley also exercised great care when crafting his poems and paid special attention to rhythm. Which is another characteristic of Romantic Poetry. (1028)
In a similar way, Lord Byron compares his love to that beauty of the night in his famous poem, "She Walks in Beauty Like the Night."
Byron was also a master of rhythm and rhyme and that can be seen in "She Walks in Beauty Like the Night." This…

Henry David Thoreau also senses this loss of distinction. His book, Walden, published in 1854 at the height of American Romanticism, celebrates his return to Nature -- a sanctum of non-artificiality -- where Romantic writers sought knowledge and spiritual fulfillment. Walden is a key work of American Romanticism because of its embedded ideas of solitude, individualism, pantheism and intuition. Thematically rich, Walden tackles the importance of self-reliance, solitude, contemplation and

British Lit. Romanticism to Present Following the liberating Age of Reason, the Enlightenment, the age when humanity was triumphing through literature and Rousseau's philosophy was inspiring revolutions, the age of Romanticism saw the birth of some genius writers of its own. Among them, Lord Byron, a man who lived his thirty-six years with the intensity of one who wants to know it all and do it all, was a prolific writer
The second section, entitled Adante con moto has been described as having "a lyrical theme with a hymnal resonance, even festive" in quality which indicates a sense of hope, even in the midst of despair (Munteanu 2006). In contrast to earlier musical works, which can be analyzed purely in terms of musical structure, Beethoven's Fifth is often analyzed as a creation of Beethoven's own, unique psyche: desperate yet occasionally

Joe Wright's 2005 motion picture "Pride and Prejudice" involves a series of elements related to ideas like family, faithfulness, and marriage.

Devising a Documentary Project PART 1 1. I would like to make a documentary about working in a busy movie theater. It will show what it is like for employees working behind the scenes of the movie-going experience: from the people running the projections booths, to the concessionists serving popcorn and cold drinks, to the ushers cleaning up after patrons when the movie is over. The documentary will highlight the more humorous sequences
