The next period that produced a great number of fine poets was the nineteenth century. Greatly loved in China are the English Romantic poets. Although they were all born in the eighteenth century, they wrote their major works in the early years of the nineteenth century. John Keats died at a very young age in 1821: while William Wordsworth, who spent much of his time in the English Lake District, lived to the age of 80 and died in 1850. The nature poems by William Wordsworth, George Gordon Byron's Isles of Greece and the sonnets and long poems by John Keats have long been favourites. The style and atmosphere in their poems have often led to comparisons with poets such as Du Fu and Li Bai.

　　Finally, modern poets have their special attraction because they stand closest to us both in the language and images they use. Among them we find the American poet Robert Frost.

　　The introduction of English poetry to China came late. Towards the end of the nineteenth century Chinese writers started reading more foreign poetry. The great moment for European literature to come to China is between 1910 and the late 1930s when famous writers such as Lu Xun and Guo Moruo translated both poetry and novels into Chinese.

　　More and more people are interested to read modern poetry in English. Translations can be good, but being able to read in English gives you much more choice. Besides, no matter how well a poem is translated, something of the spirit of the original work is lost. Reading poetry in English also opens the door to finding new ways of expressing yourself in Chinese. Finally, poems and literature can be bridges between the East and the West.
