Good Morning And Thankyou For Tuning Into The Poet 's Voice

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’ father Benjamin worked as a waiter at a coffee shop in Greenwich Village and was therefore all too familiar with the struggle to make a better life for you and your family. Although he had a great appreciation for Keats’ work, he discouraged him from making it a career for fear that his son would not be able to support himself. On one occasion he went so far ¬¬ to purchase tubes of oil paint and then gave them to Keats under the false pretense that a starving artist had traded them for a bowl of soup. Fortunately for future readers of his works, Jack was not deterred from his passion for art. When Keats graduated from high school he was awarded the senior class medal for excellence in art. In a cruel twist of fate, his father Benjamin died of a heart attack the day before he was set to receive the award. Although his father never saw Jack receive the award, he learned of his support when asked to identify his father’s body. As he checked his father’s wallet after his death he found several preserved article clippings of all of his achievements. His father was proud of Keats and his work and remained a supporter until his last breath.

Months later his brother George Keats married and immigrated to America, leaving his sickly brother Tom in Keats’s care. Keats worked on his poem "Endymion" for a while and just before its publication, he went on a hiking tour to Scotland and Ireland with his friend Charles Brown.

I picked this poem because it was it was the most moving one I read. Keats was diagnosed with tuberculosis at a young age. His family members died from the same lung condition, so he knew his fate. A few nights before Keats died at 26, he wrote When I Have Fears. This poems talks about his worry of not living a fulfilled life because he we going to die so young. “Before my pen has glean'd my teeming brain,” (Line 2 Cease.)

During the romanticism era, Line 1-8 talks about how Keats is afraid that he won’t be able to become a writer. The poem was written during Romanticism where a lung disease, tuberculosis was widespread over Europe. Even Keats mother died from this disease when Keats was a child. Because he grew up alone, he didn’t have anyone to tell about his feelings therefore he started writing poems to express his feelings.

‘Tribute’ is a poem consisting of eighteen lines in three sixtains, closely resembling the form of John Berryman’s “Dream Song” poems. The title of Jennings’ poem ‘Tribute’ sets up the readers’ preconceptions of a poem as a celebration, and an honouring towards a person with our admiration. Instead these ideas set in precognition are shattered when the reader begins reading the opening lines., The reader recognises the subject to Jennings ‘tribute’ being to “the tall poem”. On the one hand, this image could be thought of to be a designed creation of exaggeration in Jennings’ own intimidation on the approach of writing. On the other hand, the poem is unremitting in this approach, attempting to channel the underlying and unseen issues that remain hidden in the “shadows” of our minds. Jennings’ discussion of her own mental illness and this “tall poem”

The twenty-four old romantic poet John Keats, “Ode on a Grecian Urn” written in the spring of 1819 was one of his last of six odes. That he ever wrote for he died of tuberculosis a year later. Although, his time as a poet was short he was an essential part of The Romantic period (1789-1832). His groundbreaking poetry created a paradigm shift in the way poetry was composed and comprehended. Indeed, the Romantic period provided a shift from reason to belief in the senses and intuition. “Keats’s poem is able to address some of the most common assumptions and valorizations in the study of Romantic poetry, such as the opposition between “organic culture” and the alienation of modernity”. (O’Rourke, 53) The irony of Keats’s Urn is he likens

Keats was very aware of his own mortality and his poetry reflected the intensity and the passion of a man who didn't have very long to live. His poetry remains some of the densest prose ever penned because, like his brief existence, he had to condense so much life into so little space. The thought of impending death would be enough to make anyone fall into hopeless despair but Keats's incredible talents and commitment to live in the moment perhaps allowed him to three lifetimes.
