In "The Enthusiast: or, the Lover of Nature," the poet takes us on a journey that is filled with rich detail. Nature abounds and by interjecting the image of the primitive man, Warton is able to contrast the development of modern man with the simplicity of nature. In "Ode to Evening," we see the same type of appreciation but the poet delivers it to us in a different way. In this poem, the poet simply allows us to see nature as it is thorough his eyes. The poet does introduce some basic personality characteristics that help him make his case in both poems. By doing so, he brings even more attention to the beauty of nature. Works Cited
