If we look at the Keats’s charming and everlasting poetry through our sight of

heart we find only beauty. Basically Keats poetry is summarized in beauty. It is not
wrong to say that Keats and beauty become almost synonym. We can’t think
beauty and Keats separately. Keats who was the worshiper of beauty, who
considers the beauty his religion made beauty stupendous though out his life. He
dedicated his whole life to express the beauty in flowers, rills, trees, and other
sort of natural things and he becomes the greatest poet of beauty. The concept of
Keats beauty is different, he goes further beyond it. He sees the beauty in ugly
and tragic things as well as pleasant and fair things. Keats sees the life as a whole.
In words of Keats a true poet enjoys the light and shade, foul and fair with same
delight. Beauty encompasses the joy and sorrows, melancholy and happiness
which can’t be separated and that are the reality of life. Unlike mortal things
beautiful things have a sort of immortality that never dies. In ode to Nightingale,
Keats escaped from the harsh realities of world into realm of imagination. Beauty
that overwhelms his sorrow with joy and pleasure. The beautiful Nightingale song
hailed its ability to take the poet away from misery. The bird is considered
immortal, his realm is considered more peaceful with respect to man’s realm. The
joy and suffering in this poem is considered transience. Nothing in this world lasts
forever. Everything must have an end including sorrows and joy. Even stages of
human life form birth to death are transience. But the beauty of nature which
does not betray to us in case of permanance. The beauty that does not change. In
Ode to Gracin Urn, the art is represented as Permanance. The beauty in the urn
that is permanent. The people who are depicted in the urn will live forever for us
and after us for next generation. The beauty which is contrasted to the realm of
human world. Human world which is always in change. A man varies from one
state to another. Life which is always in flux and changing, not constant. But the
beauty shall remain unfading and that is truth. In simple words for Keats which is
beautiful that is truth and which is not beautiful that is not truth. We see the
bride in the urn that is still unravished. The picture of urn is permanent as
compared to man which born, grow, become old and die. The beauty and art that
makes the urn eternal. But the urn is cold, inanimate, has no ability to offer
experience. Life is based on experience. Life is felt on pluses. Keats dismissed the
urn as well as the nightingale song. Both are not able to show the experiences.
Keats hangs out between the world of reality and imagination. Finally Keats
rejected it and accepts the reality of life as a whole. Keats comes towards the Ode
to autumn which is considered his last work of art. Keats sees the autumn, a
season of mellow fruitfulness rather than fall season. Keats is ready to confront
all the harsh realities of life. Keats accepts the life as whole. Keats enjoys every
moment of life including suffering and joy because these are the parts of life.
Melancholy and happiness which can’t be isolated. Both are very necessary for
human being. Even without autumn there is no spring. Basically it makes the
difference. It makes a person aware to feel the difference between joy and
happiness. Melancholy must not be forgotten in the time of joy. Acceptance of life
as a whole is a truth of life. Both melancholy and happiness exist side by side. We
find the idea of transience in Keats poetry that nothing last forever including
pleasant things and tragic things as I already mentioned above. But the truth is
that we accept the life as a whole and that is the beauty of life. Acceptance is the
permanence and every man must know about it. Last but not least when I heard
Keats’ lines I was over the moon;

Beauty is truth, truth beauty – that is all

Ye known on earth and all ye need to know”
