NATURE

In the poems of both Sikelianos and Keats we detect nature as a source of their inspiration.

Sikelianos

Sikelianos always used nature in his poems to express the love he had for it. He was mesmerized by the trees ,flowers and all the plants, because it helped his escape for the reality. The smell of nature was like an antidote for his “wounds”.

Keats

Like William Wordsworth he had a cult of nature, though, unlike him, he did not see an immanent God in it. He simply saw another form of beauty, which he could transform into poetry without the aid of memory; he only enriched it with his imagination.
