Comparioson between two poems
Mont Blancs, written by Percy Shelly and Mary Shelley, are related to Romanticism. At first, Percy recounts that "the everlasting universe of things", which uses the word "everlasting", showing the imagination of author that the mountain is like immortal and celestial heaven. This point is similar to Mary's description that the Mont Blanc has a aerial summit, fulling with imagination. From "the wandering spirits" and "the soul in sleep", we can also easily see the using of imagination, which is the feature of Romanticism. Obviously, two poems connect with nature. But within two different poems, independent thinkings show incisively and vividly. Mary's shows the sublime majesty of mountain and grandiose landscape, which deserves people's veneration and reverence. Furthermore, perception is also showed here. Percy's shows his own philosophy that connects the landscape with life, death, and humanity. Finally, the emotions of veneration can be seen in two poems as the main element of Romanticism.
