       Lines Composed a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey is the poem full of during Romantic age. In the poem, Wordsworth tries to recapture a feeling about living as a recluse in the countryside that he visited several years ago by recalling the memory and retrospect what he saw around the countryside. Through the poem, we can know that he has feelings of peace, tranquility, and beauty of rustic life. From “Knowing that Nature never did betray”, William Wordsworth regards this scene of pastoral environment as the purest form. To a certain extent, the poet describes the Tintern Abbey as a falling paradise, which has myth of Eden. Frost at Midnight is also the poem with mysticism. Coleridge grew up in the urban city, so he was more familiar with the constant noise associated with a more urban location. He reminisced the memory of childhood in the countryside. Then he decided never to send his child off to the city as he was. Coleridge knew his son would be able to wander through nature at his own pleasure, which may bring his son inspiration and happiness. In addition, the Mont Blanc is also the poem with mysticism.
