Praise Of Creation
In Praise of Creation by Elizabeth Jennings and The Spring by Thomas Carew had the biggest impact because they use nature imagery to illustrate human emotions and they show you that certain things are worth appreciating. They both use metaphors and imagery to show these things they are trying to portray.
The Spring by Thomas Carew is about unreturned love at a time (spring), when the sun warms the spirits and aroused the fire of love.
