Hardy is good at the description of natural scenery, his natural beautiful, magical and full of spirituality. He views nature from an organic point of view and portrays nature as a life-body with subjective consciousness, human emotion, and equality with mankind. He uses anthropomorphic techniques in his works, giving nature the human mind and feeling of nature, so that nature shows its unique vigor and vitality. This chapter glimpses his view of nature from his portrayal of the intrinsic value of nature.
