Meaning of “Nature, like us, is sometimes caught Without her…”
The closing comparison allows nature to appear undignified or diminished at times, resisting the assumption that natural beauty must always be grand or picturesque.
Where does it come from?
“Beclouded,” Poems: First Series; Project Gutenberg #12242. The line is personification and comparison, not a literal claim that nature possesses human emotion or status.
