fruitfulness Here Keats describes Autumn as a season of ripe fruits like sweet apples and ripe hazelnuts These images appeal to our senses of taste smell and at the same time sight and touch As if we are seeing the fruits and tasting it We are seeing how apple juice is coming out of the cider press Keats paints the picture of Autumn bursting with life and fullness He also includes the music of Autumn such as the wailful choir of gnats the whistles of the robin and the twittering of the swallows Keats words make us feel as if we are standing on a meadow in the evening in Autumn season and hearing the sounds around us The poem becomes a powerful depiction of Autumn s beauty and sensuousness Keats Love for Nature s Beauty Keats loved the beauty of the natural world and described it in rich and vivid detail In Ode to a Nightingale he listens to the beautiful song of a nightingale and feels both happiness and sadness The bird s song seems eternal as if it has been the same for centuries He writes Thou wast not born for death immortal Bird The beauty of the bird s music helps him escape from life s worries for a moment but it also reminds him that nothing lasts forever This mix of beauty and sorrow is central to Keats s view of beauty Beauty in Art In Ode on a Grecian Urn Keats admires the beauty of an ancient Greek urn The pictures on the urn show scenes of life like lovers about to kiss and villagers celebrating These images are frozen in time so they never change The speaker praises this eternal beauty However Keats also realizes that the beauty of the urn is different from real life The lovers on the urn will never actually kiss and the trees will never feel the passing of seasons As he writes Bold Lover never never canst thou kiss While art captures beauty forever it lacks the vitality of real life Beauty and Melancholy In Ode on Melancholy Keats explains that beauty and melancholy sadness are connected He believes that we feel sadness when we see something beautiful because we know it will not last For example he talks about the short-lived beauty of a morning rose Glut thy sorrow on a morning rose The rose is lovely but it will soon fade Keats suggests that sadness helps us appreciate beauty even more Keats s Unique Vision of Beauty Keats s poetry shows that beauty is not just about physical appearance It is also about emotions imagination and the deeper truths of life As he writes in Ode on a Grecian Urn Beauty is truth truth beauty Beauty for Keats is something that touches the soul It brings joy and inspiration but it also reminds us of the fleeting nature of life To wrap up Keats poems celebrate beauty in all its forms the song of a bird the timeless art of a Grecian urn or the delicate petals of a rose He shows that beauty is everywhere and it has the power to comfort and inspire us even when life is hard At the same time he reminds us that beauty is precious because it does not last forever
