One aspect of romanticism depicted is nature,the way the narrative is penned it seems that
Emeron is trying to draw the reader to an understanding of the universe.One quote that depicts
this is when Emerson is found stating this quote,”The grass grows, the buds burst, the meadow
is spotted with fire and gold in the tint of flowers. The air is full of birds, and sweet with the
breath of the pine, the balm-of-Gilead, and the new hay. Night brings no gloom to the heart with
its welcome shade.”
Another aspect of Romanticism is the purity of childhood which can be seen in this
statement,”Man under them seems a young child, and his huge globe a toy.”
My last and final aspect of romanticism a return to the past.The author talks about the error of
the current church vs the pivotal and foundational belief of who the bible refers to as the chief
cornerstone,Jesus Christ himself.The quote that depicts this is,”In thus contemplating Jesus, we
become very sensible of the first defect of historical Christianity. Historical Christianity has fallen
into the error that corrupts all attempts to communicate religion.”
