Read the quotation from henry david thoreau’s walden. once it chanced that i stood in the very abutment of a rainbow’s arch, which filled the lower stratum of the atmosphere, tinging the grass and leaves around, and dazzling me as if i looked through colored crystal. it was a lake of rainbow light, in which, for a short while, i lived like a dolphin. if it had lasted longer it might have tinged my employments and life. which is the best example of a vivid sensory detail? 1.“once it chanced that i stood” 2.“if it had lasted longer” 3.“which, for a short while” 4.“it was a lake of rainbow light”

wordsworth tends to see nature as 'out there'; a presence which surrounds humans, and contributes to human life, but is different from humans. if you look at a typical wordsworth poem (there was a boy, ye knew him well ye rocks) - wordsworth talks about nature as something that needs to be learned about and understood, nature is different from us.  

if you look at a byron poem (the isles of greece is a good one) - byron looks at nature mainly for what it already means to man. wordsworth will look at a landscape and see the mountains, trees, valleys, and rivers as almost spiritual presences - wordsworth wants to get to know nature.  

byron will look at the same landscape and he will want to know who lives there, what are the villages? are there any farms or mines, is there some history?  

wordsworth looks at nature for what it is; byron is forever asking what it means.  

wordsworth thinks that humans are part of nature; byron thinks that nature is part of being human
