Wordsworth: Sunshine and Clouds in Immortality 
In Wordsworth's Lines Composed a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey, sunshine and clouds are the essences of immortality. As time continues, sunshine and clouds will prevail to exist whereas humans will eventually meet death. The two factors of immortality were chosen because they signify life on Earth. The sun shines everyday to give us energy and life. Praise the Sun! Clouds are always on the move in the sky and continuously shifting. These signs of life are what the author refers to as immortality. Only when the sunshine and clouds ceases to exist does immortality (life) also ceases to exist.

Comparison between Keats and Shelley
In To Autumn by Keats and Ode to the West Wind by Shelley, both poems included heavy use of nature. Nature was emphasized in both of these poems with major influence on the settings. An example would be how wind blows through a girl's hair can signify that she is beautiful. They both demonstrate that the seasons will change when there is a shift in the story.
