        <description><![CDATA[The main similarity that links many of the odes of John Keats is that they alll represent the character of typical Romantic poetry in theme. He writes in vivid and imaginative style for example about the passing of time and how we cannot go back, nature's beautiful and exquisite bounty towards us as humanity, the sorrow of loneliness or silence of perfect alone-ness as well as the slightly more sentimental expression of depression. There is...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In 1918, this is what Keats wrote of the poem:

"How beautiful the season is now--How fine the air. A temperate sharpness about it. Really, without joking, chaste weather--Dian skies--I never liked stubble-fields so much as now--Aye better than the chilly green of the spring. Somehow, a stubble-field looks warm--in the same way that some pictures look warm. This struck me so much in my Sunday's walk that I composed upon it."

        <description><![CDATA[In stanza 1 of Keats's Ode to Autumn, the season of Autumn is seen as conspiring with the sun to ripen the fruits to their maturation so that they are ready for harvesting. The vine-creepers are presented in terms of an image of arrested motion, running along the edges of a thatched roof. The apple trees around the cottages, covered with the softness of mossy growth, are bent low because of the burden of fruits. The Autumn being a season of...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I am not sure if these two lines are the most famous in English poetry. But I am sure that these are great lines of poetry. The poet supplies the message of the Greek urn--'Beauty is truth, truth beauty'. Consider how the message of equating 'beauty' and 'truth' is made complex by the use of chiasmus that involves a syntactic deviation. The chiasmus indicates the tension, for Keats's intended meaning is never as simple as beauty being equal to...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The previous post identifies very strong themes of Romantic Thought in Keats' work.  I would like to suggest two other elements.  One critical element of Romantic thought that can be seen in Keats' work is the idea of nostalgia for a past era.  Keats' had a fascination with the Greek culture and the Classical notion of "the good, the true, and the beautiful."  We can see this in his analysis of Chapman's translation of Homer and it is an...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In this response to your question, I would like to comment on two characteristics of Romanticism in Keats's poetry:
1) Preponderance of imagination and feeling over intellect and
reason;
2) Sensuousness and pictorial quality.
I have chosen Keats's Ode to a Nightingale as the primary text for this dicussion.
The poem begins with an acute sensation of pain, paradoxically born of an excess of happiness induced by the song of the nightingale:
"My...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[For Keats, the driving force of existence was seen as one that strives to reach the ultimate pinnacle of "the good, the true, and the beautiful."  Keats believes that life should be one where one pursues ends that represent "the fullest, ripest experience that one is capable of."  This sensory and lush existence can be seen in the opening stanza of Keats' ode "To Autumn,"  Art is a vehicle in this pursuit of embodying sensations that help...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The first stanza of Keats' ode To Autumn is replete with sensory images that seek to illuminate the spirit of life found in the season of autumn.  The opening line of "Seasons of mists and mellow fruitfulness" indicates a rich tapestry of natural life present.  Mellow fruitfulness is an opening that develops Keats' imagery of ripe apples and orchard of vines with fruit ripening.  There is a life spirit that is present in the first stanza's...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[
John Keats' Sonnet "On the Grasshopper and the Cricket" was written on December 30th 1816. The message of this poem is foregrounded in these two lines:
"The poetry of earth is never dead" which is the opening line of the octave and the poem; and "The poetry of earth is ceasing never"which is the first line of the sestet. Keats asserts emphatically that no matter what the season, whether it is the peak of scorching summer or the bitterly cold...]]></description>
