  • The Streak of Sadness in Keats' Poetry: Understanding Meaning
    The streak of sadness in Keats’ poetry: understanding meaning through his structures and lexis Dr. Sukanya Saha VSWC, Chennai Tamilnadu India Abstract Keats‟ short and tragic life left him with fewer options to enjoy and celebrate the colours of nature and fruits of love. His odes communicate a host of emotions which strived to find expression. Keats‟ preoccupation with self, his fear of pain and death, his unfulfilled desires of love, his tendency to escape from the agonising present to nature or to a world of fancy are some predominant emotions which find their place in different forms in his poetry. Through all his odes, there runs a streak of sadness which connects his odes in a very eloquent manner. The sorrow reverberates throughout his odes in different fashion and haunts the reader in the same way as it haunted Keats himself. Keats‟ poetry has been a subject of appreciation and criticism both. The genuineness with which he voiced his feelings capture attention. Keats did not obscure his writing by adding complex tropes or intellectual allusions and employing intricate structures. Agreeable rhythmic patterns, simplistic structures and lexis retain interest and are prime reason for the admiration of his odes. The present paper studies the theme of sadness in Keats‟ odes. As we go through his famous odes we understand how his world was revolving around his lone self, its fears, desires and wishes. We also understand the way he handled sadness and pain and wished to escape repeatedly. The paper is an attempt to observe the structure and lexis of his odes and understand a connection between his style and theme.

  • John Keats - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series John Keats - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive John Keats(31 October 1795 – 23 February 1821) John Keats was an English Romantic poet. He was one of the main figures of the second generation of romantic poets along with <a href="http://www.poemhunter.com/george-gordon-lord-byron/">Lord Byron</a> and <a href="http://www.poemhunter.com/percy-bysshe- shelley/">Percy Bysshe Shelley</a>, despite his work only having been in publication for four years before his death. Although his poems were not generally well received by critics during his life, his reputation grew after his death, so that by the end of the 19th century he had become one of the most beloved of all English poets. He had a significant influence on a diverse range of later poets and writers. Jorge Luis Borges stated that his first encounter with Keats was the most significant literary experience of his life. The poetry of Keats is characterized by sensual imagery, most notably in the series of odes. Today his poems and letters are some of the most popular and most analyzed in English literature. <b>Biography</b> <b>Early Life</b> John Keats was born on 31 October 1795 to Thomas and Frances Jennings Keats. Keats and his family seemed to have marked his birthday on 29 October, however baptism records give the birth date as the 31st. He was the eldest of four surviving children; George (1797–1841), Thomas (1799–1818) and Frances Mary "Fanny" (1803–1889). Another son was lost in infancy.

There is ample cause for this deficiency in critical comment. Smith and Keats wrote, in many respects, from opposite ends of the Romantic spectrum. In her immensely popular Elegiac Sonnets, Smith— sometimes lauded as the first British Romantic poet—perfected the prototype of the ode form M.H.

  • "Do I Wake Or Sleep?": Keats's Ode to a Nightingale G
    SYDNEY STUDIES "Do I Wake or Sleep?": Keats's Ode to a Nightingale G. L. LITTLE Already with thee! tender is the night, And haply the Queen-Moon is on her throne, Cluster'd around by all her starry Fays; But here there is no light, Save what from heaven is with the breezes blown Through verdurous glooms and winding mossy ways. 5 I cannot see what flowers are at my feet, Nor what soft incense hangs upon the boughs, But, in embalmed darkness, guess each sweet Wherewith the seasonable month endows The grass, the thicket, and the fruit-tree wild; White hawthorn, and the pastoral eglantine; Fast fading violets cover'd up in leaves; And mid-May's eldest child, The coming musk-rose, full of dewy wine, The murmurous haunt of flies on summer eves 6 Darkling I listen; .... (35-51 ) These central lines of the great Ode1 suggest ambiguously a drowsed and yet disturbing stillness. The nightingale, classically associated with poetry, is with the moon, goddess of the ideal world.2 On Keats's dreaming earth the only sound is of the luring song of the bird. The only light is from the reigning goddess, who in Endymion pursued and was pursued through dream and "a sleepy dusk, an odorous shade" by the shepherd prince, the "moonlight Emperor", although with the unexpected outcome that she was attained only after acceptance of a mortal.3 Her intermittent light can be wafted along winding paths but only emphasizes the green and lush darkness (so, apparently, relaxing at least two natural laws).

And yet, during so brief an interval, he has secured his name from ever being "writ in water" and has added gems of immense value to the accum.ulated store of English poetry.

  • Lamia, Isabella, and the Eve of St. Agnes Eros and “Romance”
    4 JEFFREY N. COX Lamia, Isabella, and The Eve of St. Agnes Eros and “romance” Keats’s final lifetime volume of poetry, published in the summer of 1820, is named for its three romances – Lamia, Isabella, The Eve of St. Agnes, and Other Poems – and the title page identifies the poet as “Author of Endymion,” his longest romance of all. Keats and his publishers sought to present him as a narrative poet on a literary scene dominated by popular writers of romances, such as Scott and Byron. This is remarkable, not only because Endymion had been ridiculed, but also because Keats himself had seemed intent to secure his name, like Homer or Milton, through epic. In Sleep and Poetry, the finale to Poems (1817), he imagined bidding farewell to the poetry of delight, “the realm .../Of Flora, and old Pan” (101–2), in order to treat “the agonies, the strife / Of human hearts” (124–25), matter for epic or tragedy. This pivot is most revealing, however, in projecting the way Keats’s farewells to romance stay dialectically engaged with it. Even his last attempt at epic, The Fall of Hyperion (late 1819), begins in a romance setting, amid the remnants of an Edenic feast, and takes the form of a Dantean dream-vision, a motif from quest-romance. From the 1817 Poems, with its various gestures of romance (“Lo! I must tell a tale of chivalry,” begins Specimen of an Induction to a Poem), through Endymion, to the 1820 volume and after, Keats seems always on a quest to write a few fine quest romances.

    Journal of Arts & Humanities Ambiguity in Keats’s Lamia Chunhong Yang1 ABSTRACT Keats’s Lamia is usually read as an ambiguous poem. The paper will focus on the causes of Lamia’s ambiguity. Her ambiguity presents Keats’s vacillation between two poetic realms—the beautiful and the sublime. And the poem tries to offer his solution to his dilemma. While Wordsworth prefers the sublime in Tintern Abbey and Intimations on Immortality, Keats offers a different choice in Lamia. Key words: Ambiguity, Keats, Lamia, Wordsworth. Available Online: 30th October 2014 MIR Centre for Socio-Economic Research, USA. 1.0 Introduction During his poem writing career, Keats seems to be trapped in a dilemma. He vacillates between two poetic realms—lyrics and epics, in aesthetic terms, whether to write the beautiful or to write the sublime, or in the style of his contemporaries, whether to write like Leigh Hunt or to write like William Wordsworth. Even early in Sleep and Poetry, Keats talks about his poetic realms and decides to move from Hunt to Wordsworth. His first realm is “of Flora, and old Pan” to tell “a lovely tale of human life” (l. 102, 110). This realm is usually considered as Hunt’s favorite, and in To Leigh Hunt. Esq. He again states clearly his dedication of “shrine of Flora” and “Pan” to his mentor (l. 8, 12). After the realm of Flora, he 1 College of Foreign Languages, North China Electric Power University, Changping District, Beijing, China 102206.E-mail: [email protected] http://www.theartsjournal.org/index.php/site/index 52 Ambiguity in Keats’s Lamia Chunhong Yang will “pass them for a nobler life, / Where I may find the agonies, the strife / of human hearts” (l.
