Wordsworth’s and Shelley’s poems show how they respect nature. Both poets use the sublime to display and reflect how tiny humans are when we stand in front of nature. In The Prelude, Wordsworth describes the relation between the lake, the cliff and humans; in Ozymandias, Shelley describes the relation between the desert and the arrogant king. The two poems have similarities and differences in accentuating nature’s power.
