Taking Over Nature In Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Birthmark

Nature is a beautiful thing, but sometimes too much interference with nature can be punishing. Having an understanding of nature is vital to understanding higher truths. Don't take over nature, let nature take over you.

Nathaniel Hawthorne (a dark romantic poet) showed shows it through his writing, The Birthmark. " We know not whether Aylmer possessed this degree of faith in man's ultimate control over nature. " He was not happy with trying to control nature, which is why we shouldn't try and mess with nature. It should be left to be.

Another poet is Jack Landon (a naturalist poet). He show's nature through a poem called, The Law of Life. " Unconverted men walk over the pit of hell on a rotten covering." We don't realize it but

nature is all around us, even if we may not see it. However, when treated or handled indifferently, nature can act in hazardous ways.
Be that as it may, those two poets focused on man harming nature. This next poet focused more on finding and obtaining nature as a whole. Ralph Waldo Emerson, (a transcendentalist poet) show's nature through his writing called, Nature. " The health of the eye seems to demand a horizon. We are never tired, so long as we can see far enough." What he is saying is that without nature we cannot live properly, but will go to the ends of the earth just to see it. Also, in the same writing there is another interesting saying of nature. " In the woods, is perpetual youth." Nature can be plain from a far or just though the eye, but the real power of nature is eternal life through all that lives.
