Creation


Explanation:
(PCovs quote:) "Natur kan omfatte alt det skabte, alt hvad der er til, en alnatur,..."

I think Creation is the term that we use in English.

"For den hedenske religiøsitet med troen på den hellige alnatur og dens evige cirkel, som mennesker, dyr og planter må følge..."
http://tidehverv.dk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&i...

In this case, "hellige alnatur" could be translated as "divine Creation".

Creation = (det skabte) frembringelse, værk, verden
(Gyödendals Røde Ordbøger)

Creation = the world; the universe
(Webster's English dictionary)

What is the Romantic Movement?
Romanticism is a movement in the arts that flourished in Europe and America throughout much of the 19th century from the period of the French revolution in 1789. Romantic artists glorified nature, idealised the past, and celebrated the divinity of creation.

The above reference to heathen religions is probably not as pertinent as the reference to the Romantic Movement. ;-)
