The Beautiful OceanAn Analysis of Lord Byron's Apostrophe to the Ocean "Either decide to stay in the shallow end of the pool or go out into the ocean," ha said Christopher Reeve who was once Superman, spent the rest of his life in a wheelchair paralyzed from the neck down. In life, the ocean often serves as an analogy. People have exclaimed that their emotions are like ocean waves. Lonely people often compare their feelings to those of a person stranded on an island in the middle of the ocean. Even Lord Byron recognized these features in the ocean. In the poem Apostrophe to the Ocean, Lord Byron talks about his love for the ocean. In the seven stanzas written by Byron, each discussed the different reasons for his love for the Lord.

Those three poets; Byron, Shelley and Keats gave birth to a new idea of ​​appreciation of nature known as Romanticism. Those poets not only inspired the people of their time period, but they also inspired future generations like me. I am truly fortunate to have lived in Wyoming in the early part of my life because I have a better understanding of the beauty and pure curiosity I developed for nature. If I hadn't lived in Wyoming in my early life, I might not have felt the same feelings that I would have felt if I had lived in Chicago.
