Dear Sir William Cullen Bryant
I Anne Bradstreet came across a distinctive poem of yours called “Thanatopsis” But before I begin to share thy thoughts regarding your poem. I will say I too am a poet, a puritan poet to be precise. As a puritan I was taken upon your failure to refer to God. Expressing Natures might to aid the injured soul and effectuate joy. You say Nature speaks multiple languages, yet so does God. I’m astonished by your neglect to God. We shall not trust in nature, but in God who protects and unquestionably holds a place for us in heaven. It is he that created thee and nature that you speak so highly of. Is it that you have no faith in God that you choose to set your faith in nature?
God is unfailing and beneficial just as your deciphering for nature. For your level of importance does not matter, in your grave you’ll have nothing to flatter, engaging in a dirt battle, God will be your only savior. According to you Earth is a big tomb, but should it be the focus? We are aware death awaits through different ways approaches. Being part of nature should not be our concern but the afterlife and our acceptance to heaven. I agree with you in the sense that we shall not fear death, for it is always near. But unlike you becoming part of earth is not something I anticipate. There is something greater than lingering underground and being stepped on. God that is that holds a place for us in heaven.
I understand a few may get lost in their entry to heaven because of their misplacement of faith. In your understanding nature converts itself to bring happiness through different circumstances or situations. Only God is competent to bring joy or allow other organisms to inflict joy for that matter such as nature. Just remember endless happiness lies in God.
