Description In Favor Of Books The Complete Poems
It is said that the poem "To Autumn" marks the end of poetic career of Keats.He died at 25, writing poetry for only about 5 odd years.
But I think he wrote enough, to exist in the hearts of poetry lovers world wide, forever.
A collection of wonderfully composed, natural, sensual and emotional imagery of ...A romantic poet !
Lines from Final stanza of "To Autumn".....
Where are the songs of Spring? Ay, where are they?
Think not of them, thou hast thy music too,–
While barred clouds bloom the soft-dying day,
And touch the stubble-plains with rosy hue
"if poetry comes not as naturally as the Leaves to a tree it had better not come at all"- John Keats

I have to admit that it was the movie Bright Star that got me to read the very slim oveare that is Keat's body of work. Yet, for such a small output, it had a huge following. Keats is very influentional through out the Victorian age. There are all kinds of influence on writers from Tennyson to Matthew Arnold and Browning. It seems to me that a major theme in Keats is work is potential unfufilled. It is a major theme in Ode to a Grecian Urn and Eve of Saint Agnes, where the love story is toldI'm going to come right out and say that I'm not usually a huge poetry fan. (Except in the epic sense where it's actually basically a novel, Byron, or Shakespeare.) But I make a huge exception for Keats. I adore Keats. All of Keats. You can't show me a poem of Keats that I wouldn't like. This stuff is so heartbreakingly beautiful sometimes, I can hardly stand it. If anyone else has a poet to recommend that they can't live without, please do. I would really like to get more into poetry. I just
Every morning I would wake at 7am just to read this work of genius.Keats was the Romantic poet who cared most about art and beauty. He didn't allow himself to get mixed up in religion and politics. But in quiet ways, he did comment on political, religious, aesthetic, and sexual beliefs, sometimes in ways that were less traditional than his poetic style. Above all, he was supremely conscious of beauty in the world, as well as the world's suffering. His 143page poem 'Endymion: A Poetic Romance'
Keats still fascinates, yet he was so decried, because of the excesses of his sensibility, his youthful enthusiasts, his almost macabre complaints, as if he had very early full awareness of his tragic destiny - the disease would prevail at the age of 25 when he had a stay in Italy - in short of all those impulses of the heart and mind that became the mark of Romanticism. There is a kind of Orpheus in Keats, of the bard of an ancient time when Nature and the Gods were still talking to men, and

Although I cannot relate to most of these poems, I cannot help but adore their wording. I love the intense passion of the romantics !!!
