Life is a journey that we can think about in many ways and, on the other hand, many situations can makes us think about journey of life. A great way to think about life is taking a stroll through nature. Be it a stroll in the park or a hike through the mountains, nature can be powerfully thought provoking. One consistency of life is change, which is brought up in The Darkling Thrush. This demonstrates how change can be viewed as bleak and hopeless, as the narrator looks at it, or, joyous and worth celebrating, like the signing bird appears to see. Another inevitability of life is mortality, a grim topic covered in Spring and Fall. The speaker addresses a young girl, however, it is a message that everyone can take to head, even though we get older and start to understand death more, no one ever gets used to the idea of dying. Although it is the end of everyone’s journey, hardly anyone is able to accept it.
With such morbid topics floating around, it is easy for one to want to escape. That is where Lake Isle of Innisfree comes into play. Throughout life there is always a time when one wants to get away. The narrator creates a beautiful scenario of a peaceful safe haven, and even though he never physically goes there, he is able to momentarily forget his troubles, which is something we all wish to do from time to time. But, another way to escape ones troubles is to live in the moment. This is shown perfectly in The Fish, a story as simple as it sounds. A woman goes out, catches a fish, and then proceeds to think about nothing but the fish for roughly seventy lines. It is a great escape into nature.
Unfortunately, we can try all we want to run away from our troubles, but they eventually find us, even when we least expect such a thing. Has Summer Come Without a Rose is a testimony to the fact that everyone experiences situations differently. The arrival of summer time, a generally happy time for most, brings incredible sadness to the narrator because it reminds him of a lost love. Although we try to move forward, often times it is easy to get caught up in the past. Finally, As I Walked Out One Evening, concludes with a matter of fact statement. As much as anyone likes to look forward, look behind, or tries to escape, life always keeps moving ahead. Therefore, we should make the best of our time here and maybe go out and enjoy nature a bit.
