A Thing of Beauty
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.
The beautiful things are like a shady bower of shade and quietness for us; they are like sleep full of sweet dreams for us; they are health for us; and they are quiet breathing for us.
Beautiful things inspire and motivate us to live through the sorrows, sadness, and loneliness of life. Though there is lack of noble souls around us, we still continue to live optimistically for better days ahead. The beautiful things in our life keep us hopeful and optimistic.
There comes time when we feel so forlorn and lonely. We fall ill at times; we also have to tread the dark ways and alleys of life searching for purpose, meaning and our lost balance; we bear all these ravages of life. During these trying times beautiful things keep infusing us with courage, strength and grit.
The natural world is full of such beautiful things. The sun, the moon, the trees and its shade for the beautiful docile sheep, the daffodils and the green meadows around them, all these are beautiful things.
The streams flowing down mountains and passing through forests, the musk roses blooming by the side of these streams; all of them are beautiful things in our life.
The graves of great people whose life was a tale of struggle and inspiration; the poet feels the fountain of beauty is falling down from the edge of heaven. We humans are drinking it and living.
The thing of beauty is the source of joy.
It is that endless joy that never fades with the time particularly because of its eternal beauty.
Our attachments to the earthly things are like traps which bind us from enjoying the marvelous creations of the Mother Nature and we often regret at our sorrows.
