It's interesting how modern the romantic poetry sounds. Yes, there's a bit more rhyme and metric, the language sounds old, but the structure still strucks as modern. Most of the poems were very narrative, with a focus on the emotional world of their characters. The lush descriptions of nature also resound to a modern audience worried about what we will lose as climate disaster approaches.
