He rejects the melancholy strain of eighteenth century verse in which nature became merely a backdrop by which to express the morose sentiments of sensibility. For him, nature has its own "immortality", freed from the inaccurately projected human feeling that would "profane" it. Nature is joyous and should be used to inspire joy, rather than ... the poem that any elaboration would seem unsuitable and unnecessary.

In particular, says Fetterly, Cather's sensual description of Lena Lingard shows "the strength of her resistance to renouncing her lesbian sensibility."
