The Lamb's 'The World Is Too Much With Us'

In Jean De La Fontaines fable “The wolf and the lamb” the lamb is confronted by the wolf. The Lamb shows the value of reason as he gets questioned by the wolf. The wolf accuses him of many things such as Dirtying up the water to calling the wolf names before this confrontation. The Lamb is getting treated as an peasant as the wolf is perceived as an person of power, who is abusing it to get what he wants, and that’s the Lamb. Even though the lamb gives Logical answers to the wolfs question he still ends up being taken to the woods and eaten for dinner. In the poem “Proverbs of Hell” by William Blake, we see the proverbs “Eternity is in love with the productions of time.” (10) And “The fox provides for himself, but God provides for the lion.” (35) That expresses certain romanticism values. The first proverbs describes the “heart over head” value by demonstrating that as time passes

We also see the value of Imagination over Reason” in “Ode to the Nightingale” by John Keat. We see in the beginning that man is heartbroken and imagining to “Drink and leave the world unseen and with thee fade away into the forest dim” showing s that he wants to drink his self away in life but in reality not wanting to do so. In the final poem “Ode to the West Wind” we see “nature over culture”. We see this value shown later in the poem as “if I were a dead leaf thou mightest bear; If I were a swift cloud to fly with thee;A wave to pant beneath thy power, and share The impulse of thy strength, only less free” showing that the wilderness has ultimate power over the societies as they can never fail as its always an endless cycle in
