Keats’ Conflict Between the World of Creativity and the Earth of Truth

John Keats, an escapist, becoming torn with the sufferings of practical life, escapes form the serious globe to the realm of creativity. But there is a placing contrast concerning the environment of truth, in which the poet essentially life in, and the entire world of creativity the place he wishes to be. Now we are heading to talk about the conflict concerning these two worlds as we obtain in his poems in particular “Ode on a Grecian Urn,” “Ode to Nightingale” and “Ode to Melancholy.”

In the real environment, pleasure, splendor, love and youth are transitory even though in imaginative globe anything is gorgeous and everlasting. “Ode to Nightingale” reveals a very clear conflict among the happiness and the immortality of the type and the misery and the mortality of human life. The poem begins with a description of the effect of the song of a nightingale on the physique and the soul of the poet. As the poet suggests:

“My coronary heart aches and a drowsy numbness pains.

My perception as nevertheless of hemlock I had drunk”

The song of the Nightingale, to the poet, is a image of eternal pleasure. The planet of Nightingale is the excellent a person to him. The weariness, the fever, and the fret of the actuality make him unhappy. He needs to fade absent to dissolve from the authentic earth exactly where as says the poet:

“…youth grows pale, and specter-skinny, and dies,

Exactly where but to consider is to be comprehensive of sorrow”

So in purchase to be no cost from the belter and painful fact of the life the poet wants to escape to the dream forest with nightingale. As he suggests

“Away! Away! For I will fly to thee”

In his imaginative forest, the poet finds all the sensual pleasure of his life which he dreams to have in an best earth. This extremity of pleasure also reminds him of death. As we see in the poem:

” Now additional then at any time would seem it abundant to die.

In this sort of an ecstasy.”

The poet now contrasts the mortality of human beings with the immortality of the nightingale. The nightingales music, that the poet hears to-day was read in the historical time by emperors and clowns. It was also heard in the fairyland exactly where-

“…magic casements, opening on the foam

of perilous seas, in fairy land forlorn.”

The quite planet ‘forlorn’ like a bell delivers him back type the fency environment to the real planet. It is, to the poet, like a aspiration. As he says

“Was it a vision, or a strolling aspiration?

Fled is that songs-do I wake or snooze.”

So in the poem we discover a dynamic contrast between an imaginary world and authentic planet whole of sorrows.

Like an in ‘ode to the Nightingale, in the poem “ode on a Grecian Urn” also weir come across a contrast amongst the permanence of purity, beauty and pleasure carved on the Urn and the temporaries of the pleasure of read planet. As the poet suggests

Thou nonetheless untarnished bride of quietness!

Thou foster boy or girl of silence and slow lime.”

In the imaginative earth of the art the bride will be untouched endlessly but in true globe it is quite not possible.

Keats also contrasts the permanence of art with transience of genuine life. As suggests the poet,

“she are not able to fade,….for ever with thou love, and she be good.”

In true life beauty and enjoy have a shorter period. Right here the beloved grows old with the passing of a long time and loses her elegance. But the female depicted on the Urn, which is a work of art, will in no way grow previous and remain youthful permanently.

“Ode to Melancholy” is yet another poem dealing with the odd dilemma of human life. The poet says that melancholy life in elegance and joy. When we enjoy them we imagine they will end shortly. The length of elegance helps make us not happy.

Melancholy, according to the poet –

“Dwells with natural beauty- natural beauty that should die.”

To the poet, melancholy dwells with the goddess of delight in the exact same temple. As suggests the poet

“…in the incredibly temple of delight veiled Melancholy…”

It displays the inter-relationship of agony and satisfaction, pleasure and sorrow transience and permanence.

Last of all we can say that, the environment of creativeness can shelter us for a quick whilst, but can not give us solution of superior actuality. So each a single has to experience the contrast among these worlds and at previous appear back to the serious earth.
