ted nature by now, does not want to. Instead, it is the deer which dictate nature's position to man, as they "ducked through the hedge...away downhill over a snow-lonely field".
             So already I can find some examples of the spiritual correspondence between man and nature in all three of these poems, which are all thematically linked by this on-going conflict/ correspondence between man and nature.
             Nature and man's representations in each of the poems are all quite different, but all have a part in the basic story of this on-going interaction between man and nature. 'La Belle Dame Sans Merci', being the earliest of the three poems, has the "knight-at-arms", a chivalrous character, and the "full beautiful faery's child", a fantasy character, as nature and man's representations, as the whole poem has been based upon a fantasy story. This typical style of writing, using fantasy stories to illustrate something, is shows that this poem has a strong sense of spiritual correspondence between man and nature, as Keats has had to dream this poem up, whereas in 'An Advancement of Learning', or even 'Roe-Deer', the poets may have actually been through these experiences, and these poems could just be showing their emotions at the time. And therefore, it is true to say that 'La Belle Dame Sans Merci' is a natural example of a poem that has been based around a spiritual correspondence between man and nature. Also, the fantasy style poem brings about a strong contrast with the style used in the more recent poems of Hughes and Heaney, who have chosen to use more realistic representations in their poems with the boy and the man, and the rat and the deer, and therefore demonstrates how these poems might have been based upon real-life events.
             The faery in 'La Belle Dame Sans Merci' is illustrated in romantic notion as being a thing of natural beauty ...
