To begin, William Wordsworth uses imagery and diction to reveal how nature influences his blissfulness by utilizing the romantic style of writing. Wordsworth is an author who believes that nature creates a miracle cure for unhappiness. He uses imagery and certain words to express his enjoyment and appreciation for the nature around him. At first, Wordsworth starts off with a negative connotation but then his mood progressively changes in a positive as he surrounds himself with nature. When Wordsworth sees the field of daffodils, he describes them with a positive connotation that creates an image of happy care free flowers: "Ten thousand saw I at a glance, Tossing their heads in a sprightly dance". The daffodils "Sprightly dance" reveals an uplifting joy he discovers in nature. Wordsworth uses the simile,"Continuous as the stars that shine and twinkle on the milky way," to compare the field of daffodils to stars, creating a picture of beauty beyond what he could describe. He is saying that an abundance of daffodils share the same amount of beauty and wonder as a sky filled of stars. As you can see, William Wordsworth uses imagery and diction to reveal how nature influences his blissfulness by utilizing the romantic style of writing. In addition, John Muir utilizes the style of naturalism to express imagery and diction to portray how nature impacts his happiness. Muir is an author who uses nature as a way "to express themselves" and observe the world around them. Muir goes through a journey of despair before finding the Calypso borealis. He describes the flower as white and simple but also "spiritual". As a naturalist, his description of the flower is direct when observing nature and showing how natural elements connect to him. The rest of his journey made him happy, through he did not have much food or shelter. "Hunger and weariness vanished, and the only after the sun was low in the West I splashed on through the swamp, strong and exhilarated as if never more to feel any mortal care." With the beauty of nature, Muir found that he was no loner phased by the lack of food and rest. Muir uses a hyperbole to express how his discovery impacted him. During his rough journey, he looked at nature for happiness as "God's abounding inexhaustible spiritual beauty bread" and welcomed all nature as friends. Muir wants his readers to know that all nature contains beauty and no part is less than another. His journey connected him to nature. In conclusion, both authors engaged with nature in different ways but it impacted them equally. Wordsworth uses a Romantic style in his poetry while Muir uses a naturalist style in his essay. Regardless of their approach with nature, they both achieved happiness in the end. Nature has power over emotion. When was the last time you appreciated the beauty of nature and its influential effect?
