Question

The contrast presented here is of the typical theme of Romantic literature, the conflict and resolution between man and nature.

Explanation:

The given lines are a Representative of a very Romantic concern, which is the difference between things that seem important and things that are empirically important.

Art deriving from nature is also a parallel theme that runs here.
