The Ropewalk is an example of romanticism

In the poem, The Ropewalk, he is showing many signs of Romanticism. The main one is that he is using his imagination to escape from his boring job as a rope maker. Throughout the whole poem he is thinking of the people who really need this rope that he is making. He is imagining how many different jobs use this rope to push himself to keep going. For example:
“Then a booth of mountebanks, With its smell of tan and planks, And a girl poised high in air On a cord, in spangled dress, With a faded loveliness, And a weary look of care.”
Here his is thinking of a circus. He is thinking about the girl on the tight rope and how she wouldn’t have a job without this rope. Another piece of evidence is when he is comparing himself to a spider and the girls to doves. This is a example of imagination but it is also an example of nature.
“In that building, long and low, With its windows all a-row, Like the port-holes of a hulk,Human spiders spin and spin, Backward down their threads so thin Dropping, each a hempen bulk. At the end, an open door; Squares of sunshine on the floor Light the long and dusky lane; And the whirring of a wheel, Dull and drowsy, makes me feel All its spokes are in my brain. As the spinners to the end Downward go and reascend, Gleam the long threads in the sun; While within this brain of mine Cobwebs brighter and more fine By the busy wheel are spun. Two fair maidens in a swing, Like white doves upon the wing, First before my vision pass; Laughing, as their gentle hands Closely clasp the twisted strands, At their shadow on the grass.”
