The theme of Nature is predominant in a lot of Romantic poetry‚ where questions arise as to what that nature is‚ what it symbolizes‚ and how it is interpreted. There are many different views on nature‚ and each poet explores them differently. The questions posed by poets about nature‚ or any other subject for that matter‚ are often times left unanswered and the theme of negative capability comes into play. Negative

    This sonnet is an attempt by Keats to link the natural life cycles of birth‚ life‚ death‚ and rebirth to the four seasons and from there to the nature of human existence. Taken literally‚ the poem is essentially a very eloquent description of the four seasons of spring‚ summer‚ autumn and winter‚ applied to the "mind of man" or the human demeanor. If interpreted in a more metaphorical sense‚ the poem takes on a distinctly different meaning. Keats opens the sonnet by establishing the fact that "There

    ‘On the sea’ by John Keats It keeps eternal whisperings around Desolate shores‚ and with its mighty swell Gluts twice ten thousand caverns‚ till the spell Of Hecate leaves them their old shadowy sound.

O ye! who have your eyeballs vexed and tired‚ Feast them upon the wideness of the Sea; O ye! whose ears are dinn’d
