Abstract

Abstract: John Keats， Wordsworths contemporary romantic poet， believes that Wordsworth perceives the burden of the enigma of life but he finds no way to get out of it. In fact， although Wordsworth is puzzled about the enigma of life， he does not get stuck in it. Instead， he gets rid of the burden by holding two beliefs. One is concerned with the nature， and the other is with human beings. The two beliefs embody Wordsworths humanism: Love for nature gives the poet wisdom as well as the power to love， and love for the mankind awakens the pure nature of human beings. They constitute the connotations of Wordsworths humanism， whose main feature is harmony: harmony with the nature and harmony with the mankind.

Key words: William Wordsworth, nature, enigma of life, humanism
