THE POETRY OF EARTH____John Keats (1795-1821)

The poetry of earth Substance pdf

Earth is full of poetry. The poetry of earth is manifested through its music. Earth experiences the continuous change of seasons. But the change can't affect the music. In summer days the sun is bright and blazing. The birds are fatigued. They refuse to sing. Just then comes forward the tiny grasshopper. It takes the lead in summer luxury. It moves and makes music.

Tired of singing incessantly it takes rest beneath some tender weeds. Now summer leaves the earth. Then winter sets in. The earth becomes cold. Frost deepens evening silence. Men enjoy the warmth of hearth. It seems life is all dull and cheerless. But the music of the earth does not cease. The little cricket starts singing. The cold earth is warmed by the shrill, sound of the cricket.

John Keats wrote the sonnet in winter. The original title of the sonnet was 'On the Grasshopper and Cricket'. The grasshopper and the cricket are two tiny insects. The first one sings in summer. The second one warms winter with its continuous music. Anyway, these two creatures of the earth create music and make the earth's music everflowing. The poet establishes the permanence of poetry

through their songs. The music stands for poetry. Obviously, the main sentiment of the poem is that the poetry of earth is never dead. And hence 'The Poetry of Earth' is chosen as the title of the poem. It is appropriate. [WBCHSE Exam XII 2018]
