John Keats was an English Romantic poet. He was

one of the main figures of the second generation of

romantic poets along with Lord Byron and Percy

Bysshe Shelley, despite his work only having been

in publication for four years before his death.

In this brief period, he produced poems that rank him as one of the great English poets. He also wrote letters which T.S. Eliot calls "the most notable and the most important ever written by any English poet."

Bright star, would I were steadfast as thou art( 1819)

Bright Star

Bright star, would I were stedfast as thou art –Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night

And watching, with eternal lids apart, Like nature's patient, sleepless Eremite,

The moving waters at their priestlike task Of pure ablution round earth's human shores,

Or gazing on the new soft-fallen mask Of snow upon the mountains and the moors –

No – yet still stedfast, still unchangeable, Pillowed upon my fair love's ripening breast,

To feel for ever its soft fall and swell, Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,

Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath, And so live ever – or else swoon in death.

The Composition of "Bright Star”

Keats wrote "Bright Star" in 1819 and revised it in 1820, perhaps on the voyage to Italy. Friends and his doctor had urged him to try a common treatment for tuberculosis, a trip to Italy; however, Keats was aware that he was dying. Some critics have theorized that this poem was addressed to his fiancée, Fanny Brawne.

Keats died of complications from tuberculosis. His genius was not generally perceived during his lifetime or immediately after his death. Keats, dying, expected

his poetry to be forgotten, as the epitaph he wrote for

his tombstone indicates: "Here lies one whose name

was writ in water.”
