John Keats and William Wordsworth are two representative poets taking nature as the theme in their poetry in the 19th century. The paper displays the nature-orientation in that period by analyzing Ode to a Nightingale and Daffodils. It is held by the romantic poets that for the sake of development and progress, man should get rid of the bondage of mechanical civilization and return to the natural romantic ideology and values. Wordsworth's simple and natural writing style forms a sharp contrast with Keats' aesthetic art pursuit and complicated emotions. The study of the two typical works helps to get a profound understanding of Romanticism and reveals its cultural significance at the same time.
