Excerpt from John Keats: A Study

Keats is too often remembered as the poet of sensuous perfection, to the exclusion of this wider thought, but any careful study of his poems will make it obvious that while he is pre-eminently among English poets the one who appeals most directly to the senses, his work is full of indications that his imagina tion and poetic genius carried him beyond this first and earliest development of the mind to the spiritual and more permanent 'elements of human nature; and that however 'wild' the music may have been which his 'spirit struck from all the beautiful,' it bore in its harmony the undertone of the discords necessary to its completion and fulness.

Excerpt from John Keats: A Study

Oh, what a wild and harmonised tune
My spirit struck from all the beautiful. - Endymion.

In all true poetry there is an element of prophecy, an inner vision, the scope of which is not, and ought not to be, comprehended at once. The real harmony which will make the poetry of John Keats lasting is to be found in prophetic element. For a work of genius is the expression of a mind at its greatest, a mind no longer limited and fettered with its own. individuality, but free and great by reason of its union with general life. It is the voice of the many in one, of the one in many, and such a voice must by its very nature be prophetic.
