More than on hundred and fifty years have gone by, but going through the poetry of Keats, fills the gap of generations. We read his poetry and never feel that it was written into a distant and so remote a past. Much of what his poetry has to offer bears a semblance of our times. What happens in the world of Keats’s poetry, can also be seen happening around us in the world of today. It is as a result of this sense of oneness with Keats’s world, a sense imposed upon us by his poetry, that Keats continues to have a tremendous appeal to the readers of late twentieth century.
