this study explores Tennyson's vision of nature through a careful reviewing of many of his poems. The paper demonstrates in clear terms Tennyson's skills in drawing wonderful nature scenes in his poems and making these scenes reflect his inner feeling and speak out his own philosophy that may not defer from the common attitudes of his society. To him, nature is unexpected, brings life and brings death. It is also moody and unreliable, sometimes a friend, sometimes a foe. Tennyson realizes a kind of similarity between man and nature especially in terms of life and death. Nature must always loom large in any study of Victorian poetry, since it was one of the three or four most important poetic themes. For successful foundation of Tennyson's poems Nature serves as one of basic functions. We can not consider Tennyson in terms of the Romantic poets as a poet of Nature but we see that certainly he treats Nature by his close scientific and minute observation. Very often he anticipates Nature to describe and develop the human in general."( Amin) Reviewing many of Tennyson poems, one may develop a kind of understanding that the poet, because of his great interest in nature, goes to establish a true friendship with it to an extent that he makes his mind open to it, and in return nature yields to him to create in the end a mutual relationship where each may become an influence to another on the way of building a landscape poetry. He made nature express his feelings and help him color his life. Through nature Tennyson could also express his own philosophy and ideas regarding life and death in addition to a total understanding of the universe in general. This paper intends to trace nature influence on fenny son and demonstrate how this influence helps to establish the poet's vision of nature. The study tries to show how Tennyson draws fantastic nature scenes in poems and how he makes nature express his inner feelings and reveal his deep philosophy that may come in accordance with the common feelings of his society.
