Information about John Keats

John Keats

An English romantic poet, John Keats moved in the same social circles as Shelley and Wordsworth. Their influence enabled him to publish his first collection, "Poems", in 1817. Critics were not fond of his follow up piece, "Endymion", which was dismissed as nonsense. Undeterred, he continued to write poetry, creating this third and best volume, "Lamia, Isabella, The Eve of St. Agnes, and Other Poems". However, his greatest work wasn't published until 35 years after his death in 1821 at the age of 25. "Hyperion" is considered by many to have been his most monumental achievement. It was finally released as "The Fall of Hyperion" in 1856.

Date of Birth: October 31, 1795

"My passions are all asleep from my having slumbered till nearly eleven and weakened the animal fiber all over me to a delightful sensation about three degrees on this sight of faintness -- if I had teeth of pearl and the breath of lilies I should call it languor -- but as I am I must call it laziness. In this state of effeminacy the fibers of the brain are relaxed in common with the rest of the body, and to such a happy degree that pleasure has no show of enticement and pain no unbearable frown. Neither poetry, nor ambition, nor love have any alertness of countenance as they pass by me."

"The imagination of a boy is healthy, and the mature imagination of a man is healthy; but there is a space of life between, in which the soul is in a ferment, the character undecided, the way of life uncertain, the ambition thick-sighted: thence proceeds mawkishness."
