TCLinrow | Mar 17, 2021 |   He creates a vivid and rich image with his words, and despite the age of his poetry it is still quite easy to read and understand. I liked the way used myths, such as in Ode to Psyche; it was something that was fun and interesting for me. (  ) TCLinrow | Mar 17, 2021 | Having never read anything by Keats before, but having heard a lot of it, I was really looking forward to this collection of five of his poems. The poem of the title is the longest and it is, as his other poems, very visual. It really tells a story, and while this is a nice change for the other poetry so far in the Little Black Classic collection, it also became slightly dull after a while. It is a long story, and my thought wandered after a while, wondering if it couldn't have been a bit shorter. Nevertheless a nice introduction.

 Leigh Hunt shrewdly opined that ‘The Eve of St Agnes’ was the best poem Keats wrote, and modern criticism is just beginning uneasily to wonder if he may not have been right... And of course Keats turned against the poem, as he habitually did when he had done something marvelous... He could not see how the incongruous factors in ‘St Agnes Eve’ nonetheless worked together to make it the kind of masterpiece adored by the Victorians. Porphyro, ‘brushing the cobwebs with his lofty plume’ in true ‘Mother Radcliffe’ style (yet who but Keats would have seen a helmet plume as brushing the cobwebs?), is a figure of complex human and poetic origins, a voyeur and would-be seducer who is also a rapt adoring lover longing to make Madeline his bride. Troilus, Iachimo and Romeo are present in him, but he is also very much his Keatsian self, like one of the ‘carvèd angels, ever eager-eyed’. Pertence à série publicadaEstá contido em
