As a novelist,Thomas Hardy has been concerned in home and abroad,but in recent years the achievments of his poetry gradually appear and are rapidly in excess of status of his novelist.The characteristics of Hardy's poetry are artless,sentimental but philosophical.These poetry make reader refreshing and initiated a new style from Romantic to Realistic.Among near one thousand poems there are near hundred poems about nature.These poems not only describe the nature,but also reveal the philosophy.Particularly the dual feeling about nature of Hardy:think both humans and nature are harmonious unity,but also think there are irreconcilable contradictions,make his poetry contain unusual significance.The paper analyzes the dual feeling about nature and its root causes by text analysis mainly and proto-criticism,and the root comes from Hardy's admission about inner law of nature and negative consequence of conquering nature.Between the dual feeling,sometimes some one was presented in the poems or both were presented.Although these threw Hardy for a loss,Hardy found out the point of conflict resolution.Human beings should combin our subjective initiative with adherence to objective laws and find out revelation of guiding exactly human beings from nature,then make the way of development of civilizations wider and wider.The paper also analyzes the methods of expressing feeling in poems about nature. Hardy is good at using fantasy,personification,the third narration and combination of station and dynamic in his poems about nature.As a mirror,the poetry reflected the inner world of Hardy,sometimes calm,sometimes choppy.Nowadays promoting a harmonious society,we also vigorously promote the harmony between humans and nature,ecological harmony is also present concerning issue.Through exploration about the poems about nature,can get the point of harmony between humans and nature,and understand deeply the root cause of conflicts between humans and nature,thereby guiding us to construct better ecological harmonious.This is very necessary.
