A ‘Thing of Beauty by John Keats is a beautiful poem with a beautiful message. The poem is an excellent example of true poetry. The poet feels that the presence of beautiful things in our life is a source of perennial joy for us. The joy they give us keeps increasing. It always remains in our hearts and will never leave us.
Not only is nature the supplier of his sustenance, it is also the paint that weaves colourful patterns around his existence. The blue sky, the orange sunset, the white clouds, the green meadows, the silvery rivers and moon, the vibrant rainbow and flowers, etc; these colorful entities make his life polychromatic and full of fun, peace, joy, and serenity.
Often his going to mountains refreshes his being after the exhaustion of the mundane life among machines in the cities. Nature, like a loving mother is always suckles man with its resources to keep him alive, healthy, happy and peaceful.
