John Keats

John Keats was born in 1795 with no advantages of birth, wealth or education. However grief and hardship never destroyed his passion for poetry. He is one of the leader for English Romantic movement. Sadly, he died at the age of 25 and achieved his fame only after his early death in 1821. Even though his works were not wide accepted when he's alive, they immensely influenced on many poets such as Alfred Tennyson later on. Keat's poetry with elaborate word choice and sensual imagery remain among the most popular poems in English literature. John Keats shown his powerful love in poetry to his brother George in 1819, 'The great beauty of Poetry is, that it makes every thing every place interesting - '
