Hello friends today we are discuss this question, the question is -Keats has used sensuous imagery to describe the natural world with care and precision. -How far do you agree with this statement?
sensuousness is that quality in poetry which affects the sense of sight, sound, touch, smell and taste. By the term ‘sensuous imagery’, we mean the images which are devoted not only to an idea or philosophical thought but also to the task of giving delight to the senses. Sensuous poetry appeal to our eyes by presenting beautiful and colourful word pictures, to our ear by musical sounds and to our nose by arousing our sense of smell. In this poem too we find that what we see and hear excite our imagination by creating beautiful sense impressions. The word-pictures like-“new-mown mead,” “summer luxury”, “lone winter evening” vening” ” elevate our imagination and a precise picture of the beauty is generated in our minds. Similarly the images like “cooling trees”, “shrills the cricket’s song”, “warmth increasing ever” all provide us sensuous images that strike our aural and tactile care and precision reis revealed to us with great by Keats in this poem.
