Frasi di John Keats
pagina 4

John Keats è stato un poeta britannico, unanimemente considerato uno dei più significativi letterati del Romanticismo.

Nato a Londra in una famiglia d'estrazione modesta, la sua vera vocazione letteraria si sviluppò solo all'età di quindici e sedici anni, quando fece copiose letture che lo avvicinarono a Shakespeare e alla poesia di Edmund Spenser. Lavorò quindi alacremente, fino a quando - prostrato dalla salute declinante - morì a Roma nel 1821, a soli venticinque anni.

Peculiarità della poetica di Keats è la vivace rispondenza alla bellezza della poesia e dell'arte; tra le sue opere principali si possono ricordare il poema di sapore miltoniano Hyperion, The Eve of St. Agnes, La Belle dame sans merci e le numerosissime odi, tutte composte in un brevissimo periodo di pochi anni nel quale Keats si dedicò tutto alla poesia.

“Poetry should… should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts, and appear almost a remembrance".”

John Keats

Letter to John Taylor (February 27, 1818)
Letters (1817–1820)
Contesto: In Poetry I have a few axioms, and you will see how far I am from their centre. I think Poetry should surprise by a fine excess and not by singularity — it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts, and appear almost a remembrance — Its touches of Beauty should never be halfway thereby making the reader breathless instead of content: the rise, the progress, the setting of imagery should like the Sun come natural to him — shine over him and set soberly although in magnificence leaving him in the luxury of twilight — but it is easier to think what Poetry should be than to write it — and this leads me on to another axiom. That if Poetry comes not as naturally as the leaves to a tree it had better not come at all.

“Bright star, would I were steadfast as thou art--
Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night
And watching, with eternal lids apart,
Like nature's patient, sleepless Eremite.”

John Keats

"Bright Star" (1819)
Contesto: Bright star! would I were stedfast as thou art-
Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night
And watching with eternal lids apart,
Like nature's patient, sleepless Eremite,
The moving waters at their priestlike task
Of pure ablution round earth's human shores.

“I am sailing with thee through the dizzy sky!
How beautiful thou art!”

John Keats
