They both admire nature and believe it to be the only true friend and inspiration for attaining wisdom or understanding the world we live in. To them nature is a book open to human being and this book is expiration date free. It is always there for the seeker of truth and is trustworthy. According to them the rustic man that is true to nature and understand it, is superior to modern man in the civilized city. The present study traces some few shared ideas and poems containing the same message of accepting the nature as the true teacher and source of wisdom to man, though the shared concerns are much greater.
