William Collins wrote "Ode to Evening." He wanted to be an author but ended up writing poems. His odes address personified abstractions which are imagined as vivid presences that overwhelm the poet as he calls them life.
His poem is about the natural countryside and the person perceiving it.
He says that we need to learn to view from nature itself.
In line 15 of the poem, he proclaims to nature "Teach me, you guide me, you tell me."
