Tintern Abbey

William Wordsworth talks about this landscape around the Tintern Abbey. He paints a vivid picture of how beautiful and sublime the area is. The Tintern Abbey is a historic sight. It's like a view into the past while showing the effect time has over things. That is what makes this place so beautiful. This is similar to Frost at Midnight and Mount Blonc because all three describe this incredible scenery and how it can capture the attention of anyone, teach them, and apear godlike. They all use intense, descriptive words like sublime, tranquil, and beauteous to show how this scenery can change a person with just one look. I think these three poems are good examples of Platonism because they express how physical objects can teach the viewer and give true knowledge.
