Romanticism in both Tu Fu’s poem and in The Koran tell a story that directly portray images of what is serene in the world versus what is the destructive enemy. Romanticism in both of these works are able to tell us what is “good” versus what is “evil,” by looking toward nature for answers. Both works are in search of attaining peace from the world in its original state, not from something that emerged from humans on Earth that altered it. In Tu Fu’s work, The Spring Prospect, “The nation shattered, hills and streams remain,”(1) paints the picture of a world crafted by mankind that couldn’t stay permanent–an industrial world that interrupts land that is owned by mother nature. The only thing that can withstand all of human corruption is nature–the only thing that is truly meant to be here. After everything is destroyed, nature still remains, as the broken city is described as, “The city in spring grass and trees deep.”(2) It is as if the world, when it is stripped to its purest form, is the only form that will be permanent. The world is meant to be in its absolute God given state, and anything that tries to interfere will hurt nature, but still leave nature as the only permanently existing thing. Although this may not be Tu Fu’s predominant point, the point about nature’s superiority over the corruption of man relates heavily to The Opening [of the Koran]. This Arabic lyric, also a culturally centered poem, opens this holy book into the talk of how mankind is capable of nothing positive without God, the creator and origin of humanity. Muhammad begs, from the point of view of Muslims, that, “It is You whom we worship and You whom we ask for help,” (5-6) as if humans are incapable of finding the right path without the creator of this divine world that humans are living in. It is as if humanity and mankind are too vulnerable to deal with life that God has all the answers to–because God is the original creator of everything. Clearly, in Tu Fu’s work and The Koran, the way the Earth was created is the most superior form of the world. Nothing else that humans can alter the Earth with will be able to withstand life’s shackles by itself, and the original form of the world will always be what humans and nature are finding themselves longing to go back to. In Tu Fu’s work, untouched nature was the original form of the world, and in The Koran, the creator of the world is begged to help the vulnerable humans. No matter what humans do, they are constantly seeking for answers from what was there before them. Muhammed asks of God, “Show us the upright way: the way of those whom You have favored, not of those with whom You have been angry and those who have gone astray.” (7-10) Clearly, the ones who have gone astray are humans that are making their own rules. They are the ones who will suffer, because that is not the way life was meant to be lived. Life was meant to be lived in a way that nature was left untouched, and the way that God, the creator, left created.
