Expansion of ideas on A thing of Beauty is joy forever in 4 to 5 paragraph
Answers
This proverb profoundly means that a rare act or an appreciable or a praiseworthy deed which is of immense benefit not only to self but to the whole society as well gives joyousness and pleasure to our mind forever. It also makes the person who does such a deed immortal.
John Keats wrote this immortal line. He means, by this line, not the beauty of a thing but a beautiful thing. Through our senses we enjoy the apparent beauty only. It has the limitations to some extent only. The outward beauty may be deceptive. An artistically looking cup may have poison in it. A well-dressed and decent-looking man may be cruel at heart. That’s why Socrates said, “Beauty is a short lived reign". The real beauty lies in deeds, in mental and spiritual out look.
Keats witnessed beauty in nature and glorified it. He described that beautiful object is always a source of delight. It means that any beautiful thing happened in life or described in literature or witnessed in nature or in arts is a source of joy. The things such as a great poem, a high statue, a beautiful building like Taj Mahal, a sweet song and so forth remain in our memory for a long time and are sources of joy. Apart from these, the fecund mission and significant accomplishment which are of efficacious forever to the whole society are of beauty beyond the outward appearance.
