Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Beauty is Truth
Keats is after Shakespeare perhaps the most musically rich of all the English poets. He sees and feels and hears the world in lines of incredible beauty. "Truth is Beauty, Beauty Truth, That is all ye know on earth and all ye need to know." are the lines of Keats which best describe his own work.

Rating:  - Great Intro........

In each, his stunningly beautiful descriptions and amazing lyrics are evident. ... Read More

Rating: - Lyric Poems Very Sweet and Powerful
Lyric Poems is a small book containig several beautiful writings about the world. It seems to plant ideas and imagination into even the most un-imaginative people.
