Hello friends today we are discuss this question, the question is -Why does keats feel that the poetry of earth is never dead?
In The Poetry of Earth’ Keats tries to bring out the infinite and eternal quality of Nature. The march of seasons bring an end to human life and activities, yet the poetry of the earth never ceases. It is immortal and sets forth itself through the myriad life forms. Hence, the song that celebrates the vibrant Nature, never stops. The birds, the Grasshopper and the Cricket take the charge by turns to ensure that the poetry is never dead. At the end the chirping of the Grasshopper and the Cricket merge into one and become the immortal poetry of the earth. The poet actually establishes the fact that, it does not matter whether the season is pleasant or morose, Nature continues to spread its beauty. The poet thus conveys that, though the seasons come and go and human activities come to a halt, ‘the poetry of earth’ goes on. It is a continuous and never-ending process that keeps on inspiring the poets and the artists.
