What is the overriding themes that cover both poets,

one is nature

i cant think of any more

i know escape is one but how would you confront it

Art and Experience?
Change and Transformation?
Death?

I don't know anything about the poet Blake but i did study Keats in the area of study of Change. Keats uses the themes of "Negative Capability" (the ability to refrain from resolving inherent contradictions), "the transience of life" (the briefness and fragility of human life) and "the oxymora of life" (paradoxical nature of the world).

I don't know if this has helped but i hope it has.

what do you mean by art and experience

 

[what--if]

From an 1800s Romantic approach: The divinity of nature, the innocence of childhood, the abuse of technology or nature's elements having dire consequences upon a person or society, the ideals of 'free love'... I think those are pretty much the central ones

With the theme of 'escape', I think it's more that nature provides one with an escape from reality because of it's infinite beauty. I think, hehe.
