# INTRODUCTION:-



# INTRODUCTION:-

John Keats, (born October 31, 1795, London, England—died February 23, 1821, Rome, Papal States [Italy]), English Romantic lyric poet who devoted his short life to the perfection of a poetry marked by vivid imagery, great sensuous appeal, and an attempt to express a philosophy through classical legend.

The son of a livery-stable manager, John Keats received relatively little formal education. His father died in 1804, and his mother remarried almost immediately. Throughout his life Keats had close emotional ties to his sister, Fanny, and his two brothers, George and Tom. After the breakup of their mother’s second marriage, the Keats children lived with their widowed grandmother at Edmonton, Middlesex. John attended a school at Enfield, two miles away, that was run by John Clarke, whose son Charles Cowden Clarke did much to encourage Keats’s literary aspirations. At school Keats was noted as a pugnacious lad and was decidedly “not literary,” but in 1809 he began to read voraciously. After the death of the Keats children’s mother in 1810, their grandmother put the children’s affairs into the hands of a guardian, Richard Abbey. At Abbey’s instigation John Keats was apprenticed to a surgeon at Edmonton in 1811. He broke off his apprenticeship in 1814 and went to live in London, where he worked as a dresser, or junior house surgeon, at Guy’s and St. Thomas’ hospitals. His literary interests had crystallized by this time, and after 1817 he devoted himself entirely to poetry. From then until his early death, the story of his life is largely the story of the poetry he wrote.

"Romanticism"

# KEATS'S CONCEPT OF BEAUTY:-


John Keats (1795-1821), a great figure in the period of Romanticism in the 19th century, a contemporary of
Byron and Shelley, has his uniqueness and brilliance in the history of British literature. For quite a long time, he is regarded as one of the pioneers for pursuing “Art for Art’s Sake”, because in his poems, he creates an eternal
world for truth and beauty. His world is against the unsatisfactory social reality, thus serves as a shelter for peace and tranquility and ever-lasting beauty. The great aesthetic value of Keats’s poetry lies in that his great power of fancy and imagination have woven an astonishing picture of the beautiful things in nature, further leading to
vivid demonstration of the relationship between man and nature; the exploration of man’ senses, especially how
man’s art makes reality eternal; a high praise of the sublimity of man’s mind and soul. Furthermore, Keats’s
poems transcend the boundaries of senses, touching the very core of man’s spiritual world by the charm of its beauty.
Beauty is an ideal for Keats. Keats wrote to Fanny Brawne in February 1820 that “I have loved the principle of
beauty in all things, and if I had had time I would have made myself remembered” (Kipperman, 1990, p. 150). In
the end of his renowned poem “Ode on a Grecian Urn”, He wants to convey to readers through the voice of the
Urn that “Beauty is truth, truth beauty, that is all ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.” This may explain
the core concept of Keats’s beauty: Negative capability.
To grasp Keats’s ideal concerning beauty and truth, we can apply Immanuel Kant’s important philosophical
treatises on art to our exploration of his poems, especially his viewpoint about beauty, the human senses, the
relationship between man and nature.

Some scholars have studied Keats’s feeling and imagination. Patterson (1970) argues that the “daemonic” in
Keats is a non malicious, pre-Christian, Greek conception, and is in conflict with his personal feeling for the
actual world; Dickstein (1971) exploresthe contrarieties in the development of Keats's imagination through close
reading of the texts, especially Endymion, the odes, The Fall of Hyperion, and some minor poems.
In addition some scholars (Ridley, 1933; Allott, 1981) focus on Keats’s dual development of his poetic and
personal self and the relationship between them. Keats constantly sought to further the dual development of his poetic and his personal self by working hard at his craft, experimenting with different genres and metrical
structures, submitting himself to various literary influences, and searching for a balance between what he called
“sensations” or responsiveness to the concrete particulars of life and “thoughts” or the exercise of his powers of intellect and understanding, and the nourishing of them by wide reading and varied personal experiences.
Kipperman (1990) discusses Keats’s principle of beauty and how he realizes it in his works. His art's very form
seems to embody and interpret the conflicts of mortality and desire. The urgency of his poetry has always appeared greater to his readers for his intense love of beauty and his tragically short life. Keats approaches the relations among experience, imagination, art, and illusion with penetrating thoughtfulness, with neither
sentimentality nor cynicism but with a delight in the ways in which beauty, in its own subtle and often surprising
ways, reveals the truth.
Different from the departure points of the researches mentioned, Pyle (2003) argues for the kindling and ash in
Keats’s poetry. Radical aestheticism remains the legacy of romanticism. A radical aestheticism brings us the experience of something like auto-sacrifice, and the result is not in the reassuring knowledge as Bourdieu
promises with his sociology of the aesthetic; it gives us an effect of what Keats calls a “barren noise”- the voids
all we claim in the name of the aesthetic, which breaks the hold of the ethical and social considerations, and
plays against the claims of knowledge. Something quite unexpected will result from genuine radical
aestheticism.
The recent studies have shown that it is of significance to probe into the aesthetic value of Keats’s poetry. The
topics for investigation in this field conclude the artistic form of Keats’s poetry, the eternal beauty Keats seeks
for, the beautiful and harmonious relationship between man and nature that Keats argues for, the adoption of the concept of negative capability to understand of Keats’s view on aestheticism.To approach this topic from western
philosophy can be enlightening, as western philosophy and literature are interrelated. The following parts will have a preliminary study of the aesthetic features of Keats’s poetry from Kant’s philosophy.

# NATURE AS A SOURCE OF INSPIRATION:-


The poetry of the English Romantic period contains many depictions and concepts of nature.
The romantic poets discuss the role of nature with different views in gaining significant ideas into
the human attitude. These poets make an allegation to nature as if it some kind of living entity calls
made for saving nature which is striving and conveying their notion to the realm. Romantic poets
adore nature and solemnize in its various aspects. They wrote about the beauty of every aspects of
nature .Almost all the romantic poets touched the agony of the soul and every scene of natural
beauty. The romantic poets substituted love, emotions, imagination, and beauty. They viewed
several perspectives of nature and its greatness Sofi (2013) mentioned one writer stated in his
introduction to a romantic anthology: the variety of this catalog implies completeness; surely not
phase or feature of the outer natural world is without its appropriate counterpart in the inner world
of human personality. All doubtful queries of human beings. Romantic poets tried to heal the
sorrows of human beings by writing their verses about nature. Thus romantic poets believe that
nature is a source of revelation .They use simple language and shape nature as God, man, etc. 
The poetry of English Romantic poetry contains many sceneries and notion of nature. According
to Lovejoy (1975) most poets of the Romantic era discuss in varying depth, the function of nature
in earning significant vision into the human position. The romantic poets believe nature as if it
some kind of living survival calls made for nature to release the conflict and carry their ideas
widely. Romantic poets adore nature and enjoy in its different aspects. Romantic’s poets focus on
the spook of nature in art and language and the observation of dignity through a connection with
nature. Venkataraman (2015) asserted that nature gives Rousseau who was one of romantic
singularly beautiful objects to focus on, which helps keep his imagination from focusing on his
difficulties and worsening his emotional state. Since Rousseau has often spent the most enjoyable
periods of his life in the proximity of nature, the objects of nature also generate memories of
happier times for him. But for a man with as avid an imagination as Rousseau, it could hardly be
the case that nature keeps him from completely avoiding painful memories. He helped to flatten
the way for future romantic periods likes Edgar Allen Poe, William Blake John Keats, etc...
The romantic poets touched the agony of every spirit and every sight of natural beauty. The
romantic’s poets’ substituted love, emotions, imagination, and beauty. They tried to heal the
sorrows of human beings by writing their verses about nature. I believe that romantic poets see
that nature is a precursor of revelation. They employ natural language and impersonate nature as
God, man, etc. It has also been associated with acknowledgment and remoteness from everyday
life the study will attempt to account point of view of romanticism in Keats poetry to show how
this concept of 'romanticism' is somewhat shorten when applied to the poetry of Keats. According
to Prickett (1981) mentioned that the Romantic Era extended roughly between 1798 and 1832
and its poetry places a stress on the fancy, nature, and feeling. Romanticism protrudes out of the
intellectual thinking of the Enlightenment Era into a healing and inspiring period. John Keats was
born at the beginning of Romanticism making him an eminent figure in the expression of these
worthy values. Many questions are asked by John Keats about nature, existence, eternal love and
death. This is sketched through the use of personification, “When I behold, upon the night’s starr’d
face, Huge cloudy symbols of a high romance”, where Keats turns to nature giving the night sky a
human quality. "Percy Shelly is one of Romantic poets, Shelley, was an ardent lover of Nature.
Like Wordsworth, Shelley visualizes nature as one soul, the superior power working through all
things. “The one spirit’s plastic stress/ Sweeps through the dull dense world.” Again he shaped
each object of nature as individual life, a part of that superior power, Nature. He solemnizes nature
in most of his poems as his main theme such as The Cloud, To a Skylark, To the Moon, Ode to the
West Wind, A Dream of the Unknown. 
John Keats is one of the paramount poets who love and adore nature. He expresses the beauty of
both real and imaginative shapes of nature. Everything in nature for him is full of marvel and
mystery-the rising sun, the moving cloud, the growing bud and the swimming fish. His love fornature is purely gratifying and he loves the beautiful scenes and insight of nature for their own
sake. Keats believes that the reality of existence can be seen in nature and he wants to live in order
to find reality and search and testify these answers for himself. He also symbolizes romance in the
clouds and the face of the starry night which again reflects the values of romanticism and the view
that the purest translation of life lies within the natural world itself. An Essay (2019) mentioned
that “High romance” represents the ancient symbol for ultimate questions in life and Keats search
for value and concept in nature in order to form these answers himself He believes that "A thing of
beauty is a joy forever'. He looks with child-like delight at the items of nature. In his poem ode
to a Nightingale, he writes:
My heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains
my sense, as though of hemlock I had drunk
Or emptied some dull opiate to the drains
While John Keats was seeing the nightingale he was stunned him before hearing of the song of the
bird, he tried many methods to forget his anxieties. Shrestha, Roma (2013) said Keats believed he
has either been intoxicated or is affected by the drug. But Keats felt a calm and lasting glee in the
song of Nightingale which makes him completely happy. It indicates to enclose with nature gives
everlasting cheerfulness for the people. Nature acts as a source of making happiness and is the best
leader for people to live a merry life. In the beginning, Keats seems to be an immature youth with
a gloomy heart insist to find a means of solace and fleeing. On catching the sight of a nightingale
and hearing its music, which he assumes to be an undying sound of happiness, Keats feels that his
body is getting narcotic. But, he also feels a severe pain because he is aware of his death and pain.
He imagines of having drunk hemlock or 'some dull opiate':
"My heart aches, and drowsy numbness pains,
my sense, as though of hemlock I had drunk.
Using of birds by two romantic poets is a fascinated thing. John Keats listened to a nightingale
song and awarded us with his Ode to a Nightingale. The sky-lark inspires Percy Shelley and
through his vision of the bird, we are appraised to its gracefulness. Birds have always caught
prominence in human lives. While some animals have many roles in human lives they were
companions, others for labor or a source of food, our flying birds' companions' held an
otherworldly place. Birds flew and sang in heights which cannot be carried out by humans. These
two romantic poets use a bird as their inspiration and also a model for the human experience. It
has also been associated with delivery and remoteness from everyday life the study will attempt to
account the perspective of romanticism in Keats poetry to show how this notion of 'romanticism'
is somewhat limiting when applied to the poetry of Keats. Asnes (2019) cited the romantic era
spanned roughly between 1798 and 1832 and its poetry places an emphasis on the imagination,
nature, and feeling. Romanticism protrudes out of the logical idea of the Enlightenment Era into
a redemptive and thrilling period. John Keats was born at the beginning of Romanticism making
him a significant figure in the expression of these values. His poetry was a great example of the
Romantic era and his poems; “When I have fears that I may cease to be” and “Bright star” reflected
all of the major concepts of the Romantic period. John Keats has celebrated the significances of
Romanticism rigorously in the poem “When I have fears that I may cease to be “. In this poem,
Keats's reaction against the logical idea is uttered into realization in nature and fantasy. John Keatsseeking responses to queries in nature about presences, immortal love and death. This is portrayed
through the use of personification, “When I behold, upon the night’s starr’d face, Huge cloudy
symbols of a high romance”, where Keats turns to nature giving the night sky a human quality.
Keats suggests that the truth about existence can be observed in nature and he wants to live in
order to find the truth and search and witness these answers for himself. He also symbolizes
romance in the clouds and the face of the starry night which again reflects the values of
Romanticism and the view that the purest translation of life lies within the natural world itself.
https://studydriver.com/how-does-john-keats-s-poetry-reflect-the-romantic-era/“High romance”
represents the ancient symbol for final queries in life and Keats search for importance and concept
in nature in order to form these queries themselves.
Keats is one of the greatest fond and swain of nature. He expresses the beauty of both real and
artistic forms of nature. Everything in nature for him is full of wonder and mystery-the rising sun,
the moving cloud, the growing bud and the swimming fish. His love for nature is purely
sensuousness and he loves the beautiful scenes of nature for their own sake. He believes that "A
thing of beauty is a joy forever'. He looks with child-like delight at the objects of nature. This
characteristic consider to be one of the characteristics of romantic poetry. In his poem ode to a
Nightingale, he writes:
My heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains
my sense, as though of hemlock I had drunk
Or emptied some dull opiate to the drains; Keats succeeded in choosing this bird Nightingales to celebrate his nature. Nightingales are named
so because they frequently sing at night as well as during the day. The name has been used for well
over 1,000 years, being highly recognizable even in its Anglo-Saxon form - Nightingale'. It means
'night songstress'. Patterson library Westfield, New York case 10 .Their song is loud, with an
impressive range of whistles, trills and gurgles. Their songs is particularly noticeable at night
because few other birds are singing. This is why its name (in several languages) includes "night".
Only unpaired males sing regularly at night, and nocturnal song is likely to serve attracting a mate.
Singing at dawn, during the hour before sunrise, is assumed to be important in defending the bird's
territory. Nightingales sing even more loudly in urban or near-urban environments, in order to
overcome the background noise. 

# ODES AS EXPRESSIONS OF KEATSIAN REVIEWER:-

"Odes as Expressions of Keatsian Reverie" explores the profound poetic realm crafted by John Keats through his celebrated odes. Keats, a prominent Romantic poet, delves into themes of beauty, transience, and imagination, embodying a contemplative reverie in his works. The "Ode to a Nightingale" reflects on the ephemeral nature of life, juxtaposing the immortal song of the nightingale with the fleeting human experience. In "Ode on a Grecian Urn," Keats freezes moments in time, immortalizing the eternal beauty of art. The "Ode to Autumn" captures the richness of the season, employing vivid imagery to evoke a sense of tranquility. Keatsian odes, characterized by introspection and a vivid imagination, serve as timeless expressions of the poet's contemplative reverie, inviting readers to transcend the ordinary and embrace the sublime beauty of existence.

# LITERARY TECHNIQUES AND STYLE:-

Romantic poet John Keats's writing style consisted of the use of imagery personification, metaphors, and alliteration. Keats worked to create musical connotation in his works.
The writing style of John Keats is overwhelmed by poetic devices such as personification, alliteration, metaphors, assonance, and consonance. These devices are put together, which creates the music and rhythm in the poems. For example, his poem “Ode to the Nightingale” is full of literary devices. Similarly, his poetry is also characterized by sensual imagery. His poems “Lamia,” “Hyperion,” “Ode to the Nightingale,” and “Endymion” are the best examples of sensual imagery.
Similarly, in Romanticism, we also find the appreciation of past writers, mythology, and Latin. We observe that Keats’s poetry also observes these rules.

Though Keats’ style of writing poetry is unique, his manner of poetry is immensely suggestive of Edmund Spenser. Keats and other traditional Romantics would likely focus on the remote past, ancient myth, and fairy tales to escape from the harsh realities of life and the unwelcoming modern 19th century. The material of Keats’ poem “Endymion” is found in remote antiquity instead of the Middle Ages. In essence, he used the manner of Middle Ages poetry in his poems “Eve of St. Agnes” and “La Belle Dame sans Merci.”

Ode to a nightingale” has been written by John Keats in
the spring of 1819. He was stimulated by the song of a
nightingale that had lived close to the house of his friend in
Hampstead. The bird’s enthralling and charismatic song had
impacted on Keats’ mind and stimulated him with tranquil
pleasure and aspiration of a blissful eternal life. The theme of the
poem is not merely the nightingale itself rather it is the poet’s
exquisite craving to get rid of the depressing and mortal world to
the immortal life of splendor, tranquility and excellence, which is
exposed to Keats for a while by listening to the song of
nightingale.
 For him, beauty and nature must be cherished. On the other
hand, Coleridge attempts to explore truth in order to attain the
measures for problems and the obscurities of life, the other
renowned writer Shelly also sensed and imagined beauty through
intellectualization, moreover, Wordsworth explored the
spiritualized dimensions of beauty. Nevertheless, Keats was not
in the favour of the artistic subjectivity for propagating personal
thoughts, rather he cherished beauty of nature which can be felt
and imagined by the intellectual capabilities to grasp truth. He
adored poetry and beauty literally for the sake of natural beauty.
For Keats an impeccable poet is similar to an empty vessel which
must be loaded with another potential beings and things. He was
acquiescent to the nature in such a way that he did never attempt
to change natural phenomena or even negate them. The golden words of Keats that he believed in the holiness of the heart’s
affection and truth of imaginations that seize as beauty must be
truth, whether it is existent before or not. Hence, this stylistic
analysis is not only based upon the dissection of the magnificent
stylistic devices integrated for the portrayal of sentiments
depicted in the poem by adorable John Keat, likewise it
emphasized on the collective impression of the stylistic devices used in the entire construction of different parts represented
together coherently and in well-adjusted manner in the poem.
This masterpiece of Keats also symbolizes the literal concept of beauty. He wanted to create a divine relationship with through his invocations.
 This stylistic analysis is in compliance with the relevant
parameters and procedures of stylistic devices used in the poem to foreground the hidden intentions and sentiments of the renowned poet. The sensuousness, overall structure of the poem,
imagery, figurative language, romantic allusions, and various sound patterns prove it to be an unprecedented masterpiece of John Keats. The stylistic approach is used to separate all the stylistic features for emotive and pictorial aims to elucidate this poem. Moreover, his choices of devices integrated in the
structure which makes it a flawless and adorable piece of art; and find the symbolic elements to give Keats’ pure concept of beauty.

# KEATS'S INFLUENCE ON LATER POETRY:-

There is no more to record of Keats’s poetic career. The poems “Isabella,” “Lamia,” “The Eve of St. Agnes,” and Hyperion and the odes were all published in the famous 1820 volume, the one that gives the true measure of his powers. It appeared in July, by which time Keats was evidently doomed. He had been increasingly ill throughout 1819, and by the beginning of 1820 the evidence of tuberculosis was clear. He realized that it was his death warrant, and from that time sustained work became impossible.

His friends Brown, the Hunts, and Brawne and her mother nursed him assiduously through the year. Percy Bysshe Shelley, hearing of his condition, wrote offering him hospitality in Pisa, but Keats did not accept. When Keats was ordered south for the winter, Joseph Severn undertook to accompany him to Rome. They sailed in September 1820, and from Naples they went to Rome, where in early December Keats had a relapse. Faithfully tended by Severn to the last, he died in Rome.

The prime authority both for Keats’s life and for his poetical development is to be found in his letters . This correspondence with his brothers and sister, with his close friends, and with Fanny Brawne gives the most intimate picture of the admirable integrity of Keats’s personal character and enables the reader to follow closely the development of his thought about poetry—his own and that of others.

His letters evince a profound thoughtfulness combined with a quick, sensitive, undidactic critical response. Spontaneous, informal, deeply thought, and deeply felt, these are among the best letters written by any English poet. Apart from their interest as a commentary on his work, they have the right to independent literary status.

It is impossible to say how much has been lost by Keats’s early death. His reputation grew steadily throughout the 19th century, though as late as the 1840s the Pre-Raphaelite painter William Holman Hunt could refer to him as “this little-known poet.” His influence is found everywhere in the decorative Romantic verse of the Victorian Age, from the early work of Alfred, Lord Tennyson, onward. His general emotional temper and the minute delicacy of his natural observation were greatly admired by the Pre-Raphaelites, who both echoed his poetry in their own and illustrated it in their paintings. Keats’s 19th-century followers on the whole valued the more superficial aspects of his work, and it was largely left for the 20th century to realize the full range of his technical and intellectual achievement.
 

# CONCLUSION:-

In concluding part we can say that In"Keatsian Reverie: Unveiling Beauty, Nature, and Transience in the Poetry of John Keats," it becomes evident that Keats's profound connection with nature and his poignant reflections on beauty and transience have left an indelible mark on the realm of Romantic literature. Through his verses, Keats invites readers into a realm where beauty is not merely an aesthetic pleasure but a profound force intertwining with the transient nature of existence.

Keats's portrayal of nature goes beyond mere picturesque descriptions; it becomes a conduit for exploring the sublime and the eternal. The poet's keen observation and vivid imagery transport readers into a world where the beauty of the natural landscape becomes a metaphor for the fleeting moments of life. His verses, laden with sensuousness and delicacy, immerse us in a reverie that transcends the ordinary and offers a heightened understanding of the world.

Keatsian reverie reflects an introspective journey, where the poet grapples with mortality and the transient nature of human experiences. The interplay of life and death, joy and melancholy, weaves a tapestry of emotions that resonates across time. Keats's confrontation with his own mortality, as seen in works like "To Autumn" and "When I Have Fears That I May Cease to Be," adds a poignant layer to his exploration of beauty, making it all the more profound. 

"Keatsian Reverie" emerges as a captivating exploration of beauty, nature, and transience in the poetry of John Keats. Through his eloquent verses and contemplative musings, Keats invites readers to partake in a reverie that transcends the boundaries of time and resonates with the universal themes of human existence. The enduring allure of Keats's poetry lies in its ability to evoke a sense of wonder and contemplation, prompting us to reflect on the ephemeral nature of beauty and the eternal echoes it leaves in the corridors of our imagination.
