Analysis Of Hi Guys For Me By John Keats

The similarities between the poems lie in their abilities to utilize imagery as a means to enhance the concept of the fleeting nature that life ultimately has and to also help further elaborate the speaker’s opinion towards their own situation. In Keats’ poem, dark and imaginative images are used to help match with the speaker’s belief that both love and death arise from fate itself. Here, Keats describes the beauty and mystery of love with images of “shadows” and “huge cloudy symbols of a high romance” to illustrate his belief that love comes from fate, and that he is sad to miss out on such an opportunity when it comes time for his own death.

From the first few lines Keats alludes to the great romances of the previous ages as opposed to William Shakespeare's great tragedies. While it could be discerned that Keats is referring to his poem

Keats discovers the creativity of human life and the morality throughout the poem. The poet is in search of the pure joy and ecstasy sung in the nightingale’s song which is completely unaware of the anguish and suffering of reality. The poet believes that if he lives a life similar to that of the nightingale that he will be removed from all pain and anguish. As the poem progresses the poet ponders different ways of joining the nightingale and what he considers paradise. He comes to the conclusion that he cannot escape the realities of the human world. Keats probably wrote this poem when he

But, we should first and foremost put this sonnet back in its context. We can easily presume that it is autobiographic, thus that Keats reveals us his own worries. In 1818, he is aware that he has short time left to live due to the fatal illness

Keats poem, “When I Have Fears” expresses the writer’s fear of dying before he is able to fulfill his life as a writer. He wants to experience fame, become a writer and find someone to love. The very first line of the poem tells us that he has a fear of dying, because it states, “When I have fears that I may cease to be,” (Keats, Line 1). It is later on in the poem that the readers find out why he fears death.

These poems are included because they had a strong feeling of mortality in them and summarize the concept of what Keats believed it to be. They were not the only two other topic that dealt with mortality but seemed to have a strong presence of it in them.

Of all the themes in poetry, one that is most commonly used and stands out quite a lot is love. T. S Elliot once quoted “Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion”. As such, it is no wonder that the themes of unrequited love and despair are very prominent in poem La Belle Dame sans Merci by John Keats. In this poem Keats clearly denotes his personal rebellion against the pains of love and revealed the sad reality that; in pleasure, there is pain. This paper will take a closer look at one of the most prominent themes in La Belle Dame sans Merci; Love and Despair.

His handling of the theme is, on the contrary, strikingly abstract, which compounds the effect of their inherent abstraction (“Kelvin Everest”). “When I Have Fears That I May Have Ceased To Be” is an example of beauty, love and death as the theme (“Kevin Everest”). Keats uses this sonnet as a frame upon which is soliloquize, a shape upon which to string his thoughts about death, love, art, imagination, frame and writing all as a theme says another critic Bruce King (“Bruce King”). Keats wrote this poem about having fears dying before people could see his poetry work says Bruce King. When I have fears is a Shakespearean sonnet consisting of three quatrains, each of alternating new rhymes concluding a couplet. Such as a rhyme scheme of (abab, cdcd, efef) and the couplet (gg)( “Bruce King”). The poem consists of a lot of vowel sound rhymes throughout the poem says critic Bruce King. Throughout the quatrains of the poem the quatrains are marked by the semicolons after lines 4 and 8, by the repetition of “When I” at the start of the first and second quatrain, and by the repeated phrase “And when I” at the start of the third quatrain.(“Bruce King”) Critic Bruce King says the vowel rhyme “romance"/"chance” in the second quatrain has similarities to “brain"/"grain” in the first quatrain while the nasal “n” sounds are alike in the poem. Therefore, those are vowel rhymes he

John Keats, author of many poems from the British Romantic Period, was best known for his five “great odes,” the most famous of which was “Ode to a Nightingale” (“Ode – Summary”). Literary critic Douglas Bush once said that if John Keats had not died at the young age of twenty-five, he would be more well-known than William Shakespeare and Keats Milton (“John Keats” 559). John Keats was a young poet whose poems, mostly revolved around the mortal and immortal aspects of life. Keats had many of influences in his life that led him to write “Ode to a Nightingale.”

Like many poets, John Keats has had a very troubling and traumatic life and it shows in his writings of poetry. Death and many other awful troubles causing him to have a life that anyone would feel horrible in. John Keat’s poetry has many dark recurring themes. One speculation is that his poetry was an escape from his melancholy filled life. There are many aspects to Keats’s life that could have been motivation to write his poetry. One would say that he connected works of poetry with the events of his life.

The love these individuals feel is “For ever warm and still to be enjoy’d” (26). He claims that happiness in the image is “All breathing human passion far above, / that leaves a heart high - sorrowful and cloy’d, / a burning forehead, and a parching tongue.” (27-30). With “human passion,” there will always exist negative consequences, from heartbreak to longing due to separation. However, in this single image, frozen in time, these could never exist. Instead the single, cheerful atmosphere will perpetually remain, and from it Keats is able to grow a larger scene with the two lovers.

Born in London, England on October 31, 1795, Keats suffered a tragic childhood after he became an orphan at the age of eight. The death his father left him without a reliable mother because after her husband’s death, Keats’s mother remarried and spent the family’s money. Keats’s mother abandoned the family after her divorce. With no one to take care of them, Keats’s grandmother stepped up and took Keats and his three siblings into her home. Keats’s mother eventually returned home, but died from tuberculosis in 1810. During his time of abandonment, Keats turned to literature and was supported by his school’s headmaster, John Clarke.

Oh, to melancholy a poem I wonder what your particular subject that Keats has infused into you. However, I can see that it can deal with sadness given the title and the poem is divided into three parts showed by the three roman numerals, have thirty lines, probably made in May. Though by reading the poem I find it to be an iambic pentameter but with an interesting pattern of ABAB CDECDE until the last stanza that ends with a CDEDCE instead. There is even a tropaic line “Sudden from heaven like a weeping cloud”, it stand out for a particular reason like the switch in the pattern or the break in the third stanza. Then the emotional curve starts low until it starts to curve upward from the start of stanza two to the word glut and rises till stanza three where it starts to level out but ends with the last four lines on a sour note. Next, the poem is an ode so there is a main underlining subject matter broken into three parts: Strophe, antistrophe, and epode. Therefore, the meaning I find is melancholy and beauty are intertwine where to understand one you would also understand the other.

John Keats is not only one of the greatest poets in English literature, but he is also one of its few heroes. Despite being relatively unknown during his life, Keats became the defining symbol of the late Romantic time period in which he lived Even after his premature death at the young age of twenty-five, Keats's poetry was scrutinized. If not for several profound occurrences in John Keats’s lifetime, and without the friendships that he made, he never would have been able to address the political issues at the time or find a way to release his feelings of heartbreak

John Keats was a young poet whose work continues to heavily influence the literary world today. His contributions to the Romantic Period are considered to some to be unmatched by even some of the more experienced poets of the time, including William Blake. Through his use of vivid imagery and magical language, Keats was able to paint beautiful pictures through his poems all while conveying deep philosophical meanings that were prevalent in the writings of the Romantics. What makes John Keats continue to be relevant today is not only the concepts he wrote about, but the manner in which he wrote them. The suffering that he endured from his personal life as well as the extreme empathy he held for humankind shines through his writings and gives his works a very wistful and sad quality that leaves the reader pondering life and all of the beautiful yet mysterious aspects it holds.
