Description Toward 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 KeatsRating Appertaining To Books The Complete Poems

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 One minute past, and Lethe-wards had sunk:'Tis not through envy of thy happy lot, But being too happy in thine happiness, That thou, light-winged Dryad of the trees In some melodious plot Of beechen green, and shadows numberless, Singest of summer in full-throated ease.LamiaI was a woman, let me have once more A womans shape, and charming as before. I love a youth of Corinth O the bliss! Give me my womans form, and place me where he is. Stoop, Hermes, let me breathe upon thy brow, And thou shalt see thy sweet nymph even now
Oh what can ail thee, knight-at-arms, Alone and palely loitering?The sedge has withered from the lake, And no birds sing.Oh what can ail thee, knight-at-arms, So haggard and so woe-begone?The squirrel's granary is full, And the harvest's done.I see a lily on thy brow, With anguish moist and fever-dew,And on thy cheeks a fading rose Fast withereth too.I met a lady in the meads, Full beautiful - a faery's child,Her hair was long, her foot was light, And her eyes were wild.I made a garland for her
On first looking into Chapman's Homer Bjørneboe's Bestialitetens historie MUCH have I travell'd in the realms of gold, And many goodly states and kingdoms seen; Round many western islands have I been Which bards in fealty to Apollo hold. Oft of one wide expanse had I been told That deep-brow'd Homer ruled as his demesne: Yet did I never breathe its pure serene Till I heard Chapman speak out loud and bold: Then felt I like some watcher of the skies When a new planet swims into his ken; Or
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'
Personal Response:I only read the poem "To Autumn" from this book's collection of poems. I thought this poem was a pretty good one. It was pretty easy to read the whole thing with a high level of understanding. I think I really enjoyed the poem because I was able to really connect to it by my own experiences.Plot:There is not a true plot to this poem, only that it describes what all an autumn day will hold. The author describes the changing of the plants and sounds. He also describes the actions
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
