John Keats

John Keats was born on 31 October 1795 (probably), first child of Thomas Keats and Frances Jennings Keats, who had apparently eloped1. Everything was pretty ordinary for all concerned for a while--the Keatses had three more sons (George and Thomas, plus Edward who died as a baby) and one daughter, Frances, by 1803. That was also the year when John went away to school at Enfield. In 1804, John\'s father was killed in a fall from a horse. Just over two months later, for mysterious reasons, Frances remarried, to a London bank clerk named William Rawlings. Frances quickly decided she\'d made some sort of terrible error and left, taking nothing with her since the laws of the time decreed that all her property and even her children belonged to her husband. Frances\' mother, Alice, swept in and took custody of the children, but she could do nothing about the Swan and Hoop, which Rawlings sold immediately before disappearing. It was around this time that John became prone to fistfights, which...

John Keats

John Keats John Keats (October 31, 1795 – February 23, 1821) was one of the principal poets of the English Romantic movement. During his short life, his work received constant critical attacks from the periodicals of the day, though politics, rather than aesthetics, often dictated those opinions. By the mid-nineteenth century, however, audiences began to appreciate more fully the significance of the cultural change his work both presaged and helped to form. Elaborate word choice and sensual imagery characterize Keats' poetry. He often felt himself working in the shadow of past poets, particularly Milton and Spenser, and only towards the end of his life produced his most original and most memorable poems, including a series of odes that remain among the most popular poems in English. Oscar Wilde, the aestheticist non pareil was to later write: "[...] who but the supreme and perfect artist could have got from a mere colour a motive so full of marvel: and now I am half enamoured of the...

George Gordon Noel Byron

George Gordon Noel Byron, al VI-lea Baron Byron, s-a născut în 22 ianuarie 1788 la Londra și a decedat în 19 aprilie 1824 la Mesolongion, Grecia. Este unul dintre cei mai cunoscuți poeți romantici englezi, alături de Percy Shelley și John Keats, contemporani ai săi. Printre cele mai cunoscute opere ale sale sunt poemele narative Pelerinajul lui Childe Harold și Don Juan. Cel din urmă a rămas incomplet din pricina morții poetului. Faima Lordului Byron se datorează nu numai operei, ci și vieții sale, trăită în extravaganță, cu numeroase povești de dragoste, datorii, despărțiri, acuzații de incest și sodomie. El a fost descris de către Lady Caroline Lamb ca „un om nebun, rău și periculos pentru al cunoaște”. Byron a fost un lider regional al organizației revoluționare Carbonari din Italia în revolta lor împotriva Austriei și mai târziu a călătorit pentru a lupta împotriva turcilor în Războiul de independență grecesc, fapt pentru care grecii îl consideră un erou național. El a murit din...

Raspunsuri anticipatorii Pentru care motiv cele mai multe poeme ale mele nu au rima 1.Au rimat pina cind cineva a izgonit cuvintele care rimau. 2.Absolut toate combinatiile de rime sint de nefolosit. 3.Daca doriti rime,puteti gasi un milion de poeme rimate,in engleza(studentii si-ar afla o indeletnicire placuta insiruindu-le pe toate intr-un lant.) 4.Grecii se abtineau sa rimeze si romanii la fel. 5.Rimele se potrivesc pentru song,nu pentru poeme si-n zilele noastre e mai greu sa nu rimezi. 6.Lumea nu rimeaza,atunci de ce ar rima poemele mele? Pentru care motiv cele mai multe poeme ale mele nu au sens. 1.Cele mai multe poeme oricum nu mai au sens. 2.Arta obisnuia sa fie furibunda,facind ordine,acum e furibunda pentru a face dezordine. 3.Indatorirea poeziei nu e de a da un anumit sens,ci de a reface un anumit sens. 4.Sensul mai exista inca,dar in zilele noastre il deslusesti printre rinduri. 5.Totusi zarim lumea si ca intr-un delir,idealurile noastre. 6.Ele au un sens neobisnuit,ceea...
