Abstract

Poetry is the essence of one's thought. It is the perception of the inner soul. A poem on nature is the picturisation of the beauty of nature like trees, birds flying overhead, the struggle of a seed for its survival that also gives life lessons to us. In the midst of the surrounding allurement, the reflection of dirt could be perceived easily creating an imbalance in the mind or the psychology of a person. Though we do not take much care towards it in our hectic life style and stressed daily routine, psychology plays a major role in the building up of a personality. The attitude of a person is the outcome of his experiences around the surrounding. Good vibes bring positive thought while bad vibes fill negative and unpleasant thought in the mind of a person. The role of nature is crucial over here. The environment spread around us, co-operates and supports a person to take strong and affirmative decisions. Thus, nature portrays an important effect on the person's thinking, behaviour, decision and execution of planning. Different elements of nature characterize various personality traits in human beings like climate, atmosphere, as well as human - nature relationship. Each has its specific outcome and leads to major changes in the plight of a person. No doubt, presence of nature around us has only positive effects and helps to maintain the balance in our life. The present article states the essence of Wordsworths's poetry towards the significance of nature and its positive psychological aspects in human life.
