Brief Evaluation of the Element of Sensuousness in John Keats’ Poems

John Keats has been considered the epitome of what is called the sensuous poetry, but this should never be assumed that his poems are anywhere or any sense any less aesthetic or could be even called divine to their core. This supernova of English literature though lived a very short life but left enough content for the coming centuries to contemplate and learn the deep sense of beauty form his perception. Though his poems are largely occupied with feminine beauty but one never feels any sense of vulgarity in his expressions, for him, ‘a thing of beauty is a joy forever.’ The due credit must be given to the genius of Keats that he is the only of his kind who could make most sensual imagery into sensuous one.
