Grecian urn

“Ode to a Grecian Urn” and “Ode to a Nightingale” are written in the period when Romantic Expressivism was the understanding of the universe. A Romantic poets’ insight comes from the vision that they originally express as well as their views of the cosmos. The authors behind these poems write in such a style that

Throughout history, mankind has struggled to find methods of preserving the past, and have come to two solutions; establishing museums and writing poetry. Unlike poetry, museums only record the basic events and not individual thoughts, experiences, or emotions. The Romantic poets: William Wordsworth, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and John Keats have written their poems to reconstruct this history. Romantic poets concern themselves with memory, antiquity, and re-imagining the past. Percy Bysshe Shelley’s

shows his reader a vivid scene of love about “pursuit” and “escape” between men and women (9); in addition, a suggestion of intimacy about “marble men and maidens overwrought” is another example of how the speaker acknowledged the theme of love on the urn (42). Compare to Keats’ poem, Lee’s poem contains stronger erotic scene of intimacy between the speaker and his lover Donna in the yard. Interestingly, using the speech of his father, the speaker emphasizes the similes between holding a persimmon and

According to Eagleton “imaginative” is what the mind can create using its originality and exceptionality, it is something that has not occurred in real life, or cannot be claimed as something factually true. It is conceived in the minds of individuals, but not projected into real life. He uses terms like “did not exist” “literary untrue”, “inventive” to further state his opinion on what “imaginative” is. Imaginative for the Romantics had three main functions; the capability to transcend reality,

The Bear by William Faulkner is a bildungsroman, or a story that deals with the protagonist’s transition from youth to adulthood. As a coming of age story, The Bear shows the protagonist’s development from a boy to a man. The boy develops intellectually and skillfully through his experiences on his journey to maturity; through the aid of his father, he comes to the realization that the anticipation of an event is often more valuable than the actual occurrence. The boy increases in his intellectual

The Different Perspective (A Discussion on messages in John Keats poems.) John Keats was a poet in the 1800’s who was way ahead of his time. Keats left his indelible mark on literature. Even though Keats lived a hard, short life, it never stopped him from writing good literature. “He had no advantages of birth, wealth or education; he lost his parents in childhood, watched one brother die of tuberculosis and the other emigrate to America. Poverty kept him from marrying the woman he loved. And he

BEAUY AND TRUTH AND THE GRECIAN URN Dept. No: 15/PELA/031 John Keats is a romantic poet and he belongs to the Romantic Period.

There is: Wordsworth’s “Lines Composed a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey”, Keats’s “Ode on a Grecian Urn” and Tennyson’s “In Memoriam, A.H.H.” Wordsworth, Keats, and Tennyson never rationalize, argue, or preach; they carefully craft every word to maximize a reader’s understanding of the experience by absorbing the reader into the poem itself.

We can see transcendentalism with William Blake and his poetry. William Blake, who is a pre-romantic poet, handles his themes sincerely with a mind that is not distracted by the existing opinions such as rationalism, suppression and reason of opinions in his society. Although, he favors the morals of love, freedom, brotherhood and equality. Therefore, I believe he is considered one of the best romantic poets of all time.

(An analysis of each of the Keats Poems) “English Romantic lyric poet John Keats was dedicated to the perfection of poetry marked by vivid imagery that expressed a philosophy through classical legend” (Jones). John Keats’ poems were written with specific messages that could be obtained from what his main topic was.
