Class XII A thing of beauty
A Thing of Beauty is an excerpt from John Keats' poem ‘Endymion. The poem reflects his attitude towards beauty. The poet believes that beauty is intransient and gives joy forever It provides us with eternal happiness and never fades away.
A thing of beauty is a joy forever. It transcends time. It will never fade away. Beauty has the power to remove darkness and gloom. In spite of treacherous and deceitful people and negativity and distress all around, there is some beautiful thing that removes the sadness and makes us happy. There are a number of beautiful things that have the power to uplift our spirits like the sun, the moon, and old and young trees. The trees sprout and spread their branches to provide shelter within their green covering (shade) for the simple sheep Similarly, the sight of daffodils blooming within their green surroundings, the clear and small streams of water which make a cooling shelter for themselves against the hot season, the thick mass of ferns looking grand with their beautiful musk roses are all things of beauty that makes us feel happy.
The mighty dead people whose achievements have made them great and powerful inspire us through their sagas of noble works. Their legends and stories enthuse us and we imagine their magnificence. A beautiful thing is also a source of joy just as the lovely tales we have heard or read give us profound happiness. It is like a fountain of immortality gushing out from nature’s endless fountain pours its sacred and immortal drink into the heart and soul of man and is a source of immense joy for us.
