    John Keats was born on 31 october 1795, in a modest family, son of a groom, which dies in an

    accident.
    His father's death had a profond effect on the yong boy's life. !n a more abstract sense, it shaped
    Keats' nderstanding for the hman condition, both its sffering and its loss. "his tragedy and others
    helped grond Keats' later poetry#one that fond its beaty and grander from the hman e$perience.
    %ring this period, Keats fond solace and comfort in art and literatre. &t 'nfield &cademy, where he
    started shortly before his father's passing, Keats pro(ed to be a (oracios reader.
    %ring his school years, Keats became friends with )harles )owden )lar*e, he himself a ftre writer,
    who was son of a cltred family. )lar*e was the one who inflenced him on lo(ing boo*s, and
    especially poerty. Keats himself recalls in one of his letters the powerfl impression he had while
    reading 'dmnd +penser and Homer.
    His first boo* of poems ,-oems, 1.17/ was passed o(er in silence by the critics. &fter the pblishing of
    the poem Endymion ,1.1./, Keats becomes the target of certain attac*s in a conser(ati(e maga0ine.
    Keats, who arond this time fell in lo(e with a woman named 1anny 2rawne, contined to write. He'd
    pro(en prolific for mch of the past year. His wor* inclded his first +ha*espearean sonnet, 34hen !
    ha(e fears that ! may cease to be,3 which was pblished in Janary 1.1..
    !n the meanwhile, he wrotes his most beatifl poems5 Ode to Psyche, Ode on a Grecian Urn, Ode to a
    Nightigale. !n 1.67 he brea*s p with 1anny, after he finds ot he has plmonary tberclosis. His
    friends helped him to go in !taly, bt not e(en the fa(orable climate cold stop the e(oltion of the
    disease. Keats died in 1.61 in 8ome, before he e(en trned 69.
    :nappreciated by the ma;ority of his contemporans and almost n*own dring his life, Keats was
    recogni0ed after fi(e decades after his death as being one of the biggest poets 'ngland e(er had, a
    remarcable master of lyricism.
    He lo(ed the colors of flowers, sea, s*y, and the perfmes of plants. &t Keats is present a clt of the
    aniti<ity, of its profondly hman's ideals. !n the poem Endymion ,1.1./, he tal*s abot the myth of
    the lo(e of the =oon >oddess, +elene, for the shepherd 'ndymion. &nother poem with a mythological
    theme, Hyperion, one of the titans which o(ertrned the :rans' domination, was left nfinished. Keats
    also approached medie(al sb;ects, too. "hey ser(ed as a basement for the poems Isabella ,1.1./ and
    The Eve of St. Agnes ,1.19/.
    His aesthetic ideal fond the most complete embodiment in the lyrical poetry. 8emar*able models are
    the poems Ode to a Nightingale, To Atmn, Ode on a Grecian Urn. !n these were manifested the
    characteristic featres of the poet5 the sen0orial perception of natre, the force of imagination, the
    nsal gift of bringing to life the whole world arond.
    Keats also payed attention to the forms of the poetry and left a great nmber of splendid sonatas,
    bringing new e$pressi(e means to the poetic langage. He managed to transform in words the colors of
    natre and the otside appearance of ob;ects, in a special way. He had an ama0ing capacity of bringing
    the fenomens and ob;ects of the real world p to the stage of tre beaty.
