Though his life was short, John Keats is recognized as one of England's greatest poets. He isknown in particular for his vivid descriptions of the beauty of nature, and for the profound philosophical questions that are ahallmark of his poems.Born in 1795, Keats published three books of poetry in his lifetime. Critics at the time did not like his work, partlybecause he came from an ordinary background, with no advantages of birth, wealth or education. He had lost his parents inchildhood, and one of his brothers died young from disease. Also, Keats was too poor to marry the woman he loved. Despite all this suffering, Keats never lost his love of poetry. Few poets have so thoroughly captured the glory of life andnature. When Keats spoke those words to his brother, he was going through his most creative period. In the spring and summerof that year, he wrote his most famous short poems, known as odes. They include Ode to a Nightingale, Ode on Melancholy,and To Autumn. By 1820, however, Keats had developed tuberculosis, the same disease that had killed his mother and brother. On hisdoctor's advice, he left the cold air of London and moved to Italy. His health did not improve, however, and he died the nextyear, at the age of twenty-five. It was not until the mid-nineteenth century that people began to fully appreciate the beauty andsignificance of John Keats' poetry.
