Final answer:

The non-Romantic value is reason; Romantic poetry often sees nature as soul-nourishing ; in Wordsworth's works, nature thrills with daffodils and provides wisdom, using personification and simple structures to suggest nature's superiority, while 'Darkness' uniquely portrays nature negatively.

Step-by-step explanation:

The value not associated with Romanticism is reason; instead, Romanticism emphasizes nature, individualism, and imagination. According to most Romantic poets, nature can nourish the soul. In 'I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud', the element in nature that best thrills the speaker is the daffodils. What is true in both of the Wordsworth poems is that nature offers wisdom. The device Wordsworth uses when he says "every flower enjoys the air it breathes" in 'Lines Written in Early Spring' is personification. The structure and sound of 'Lines Written in Early Spring' are best described as simple. When referring to "Nature's holy plan" in the poem, it suggests that nature's way is superior to humanity's way. In 'Darkness', the unique aspect about the one specific dog mentioned is that it tries to protect, rather than eat, its master's corpse. 'Darkness' differs from other poems in this unit because the role of nature is portrayed as negative. Lastly, 'Ode on Melancholy' best fits the Romantic tenet of Passionate Emotion.
