Truth is found within; truth is relative; truth is believing in one’s own reality. Amy Hempel's short story “The Harvest,” Alexander Pope’s poem “An Essay on Man,” and John Keats’, “Ode on a Grecian Urn,” shed light on how to find truth, what it is, and what it isn’t. “An Essay on Man” uses rationalist idealism to convey that the reader must trust their instincts. That is essentially what Pope’s thesis is, “Know then thyself, presume not God to scan; the proper study of mankind is man.” One…

John Keats has a standard of his poems: ”Poetry should... should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts, and appear almost a remembrance.” This standard is something that he strived to accomplish throughout his life.

Through all his odes, there runs a streak of sadness which connects his odes in a very eloquent manner. The sorrow reverberates throughout his odes in…

John Keats: Romantic Legend John Keats is regarded today as one of the most famous poets during the romantic age. He lived an unfortunately brief life of 25 years and received a great amount of criticism during it. His poetry was usually very sensual and his descriptive writing gave many readers strong vivid images to imagine. Keats’s influence mostly came from his school’s headmaster, John Clarke. Clarke became a father figure to John, believing in his academic potential and pushing him to…

The descriptions of the ‘steadfast’ and ‘patient’ nature of the ‘Bright star’ are included in order to juxtapose Keats’ perception of himself and the subject of the poem.
