Happy Birthday, John. I wouldn't be alive without ye today. No one has ever helped me more than yer poems. I owe ye my life. Yer work is carved in my soul and for yer admirers it's immortal.
What a lovely summary of Keats! I have my A2 Unit 3 exam on Thursday the 15th, and this has definitely helped with my knowledge and understanding of Keats. Thank you :)
(..) Fade far away, dissolve, and quite forget What thou among the leaves hast never known, The weariness, the fever, and the fret Here, where men sit and hear each other groan ;Where palsy shake a few, sad, last gray hairs, Where youth grows pale, and spectre-thin, and dies;Where but to think Is so to be full of sorrow And leaden-eyed despairs, Where Beauty cannot keep her lustrous eyes, Or new Love pine at them beyond to-morrow. (..)-JOHN KEATS
My English teacher actually suggested us this video, i must admit that i am totally unaware of who Keats was until this video, so if any one of you have read his work please do suggest me something.
How can you ignore the man buried beside him. The artist's house is where Keats stayed and died. Some say he was Keats's alter ego, some say Keats wouldn't have produced Hyperion without him. !!!
Thank you for your feedback. The artist Joseph Severn certainly plays a part in the story, but he did not own the house where Keats died; the apartment in 26 Piazza di Spagna was rented for its convenient location close to Keats’ doctor. In addition, 'Hyperion' had been abandoned by the spring of 1819, and Keats began work on its revision, 'The Fall of Hyperion: A Dream', in late 1819; in either case, before he travelled to Rome with Severn. When they began their journey to Italy, they were little more than acquaintances. Severn was the only one in Keats’ circle who was either willing or able to accompany the poet on the last-ditch attempt to salvage his health. Severn rose to the challenge spectacularly. He nursed Keats through his final weeks, and was so moved by the experience that he later requested to be buried next to Keats when he died. As such, although Severn played an important role in Keats’ life, I personally believe that to call him an alter ego is an overstretch. I decided not to discuss Severn in this video, because it’s a concise introduction to Keats and it would be impossible to explore the characters in his life in under eight minutes. However, I hope that viewers are inspired to find out more. Thank you for watching!
A sweet, but too (perhaps unconsciously) simple- reductive analysis which amusingly enough, claims not to be. Here's another take on his epitaph for you to think on WordLine: " Keats' form (unlike multiplication) is not commutative, and readers are pointedly reminded that any particular form is a tiny, temporarily frozen portion of an endlessly fluid medium, only seeming a solid object through its repeated use by different poets. It may seem easier to think of forms as fixed objects, but to do so will handicap and diminish your reading..." Keats was (also) outstandingly clever about the meaning of poetry - as well as attached to the ' failure / impermanence ' to which you attribute his epitaph.
Thank you very much for your feedback! You rightly point out that this video is a simplistic take on Keats’ life and epitaph; it would be very difficult to capture the full complexities of either in under eight minutes, but I hope that viewers are inspired to find out more. Also thank you for the fascinating quotation that you’ve provided above. I would be interested to know who the critic is and if you could elaborate upon the connection that you’ve suggested between the quotation and Keats’ epitaph; is the idea that Keats selected ‘writ in water’ to comment on the fluidity of the poetic word? I'm always grateful for different perspectives.
I loved the video. It's clearly just an introductionnd summary emminently suitable for students. Helpful as a start for high ability and for lower ability to understand. In Our Time for example does a very interesting programme on The Later Romantics but Its not suitable for all students. thank you for this.
Thank you for your feedback. I would love to invest in better audio equipment in the future, and I welcome any recommendations. I hope that you still found the video useful.
The journey continues! Check out the next video on key themes in Keats' poetry...
