Abstract
The aim of thisresearch is to prove how the attitudeof the poet towards environmentpsychology
depends upon egocentric notion on ecology. The poet’s sense of superity overrides all other
feelings for nature,and thatcreates some sort of problem with biosphere model. The poet talks
about obscurity, population moving towards new adaptation as well as the mystery of truth. It
refers to poetic texts to challenge modernity.The narrator talks about hisancestor’sawareness
in environmental thinking and the aesthetic dilemma poses in the global ecological crisis.Clare
talks about the real features of social hypocrisy and organic evolution within the real world.
Clare´s simple joywas sharpened precisely because he was possessed bya painful awareness of
its fragility. As a result, Clare’s poetry encompasses the wonder seeking happiness, and his
depression without falling into clichés about genius and madness. It means that, natural
selection does not produce genetic changesrather these changes by favor some gene
recombination, rejecting other and constantly modifying gene. When natural adaptation appears
to both hope for a spiritual after life and accept the physical reality of peaceful response in his
beloved earth. While, Clare feels from his family and friends due to his mental condition. Clare’s
poem adopts religious imagery, calling on God, recalling the Garden of Eden and longing for
the vaulted sky. The research finds the advocacy of human nature relationship of these two
forces found in poetic lines contributing to eco-centric world view.So, the poet offers alternative
structure of landscape vision and awareness that remove the effect of evolution. This is a slow,
continuous and irreversible process of change. Thus, it appears to individual organismproduce
offspring;s in geometric progression that as much as more embodied participatory and social
version of nature as a self.
