JOHN KEATS PARAGRAPH

       JOHN KEATS

One of the greatest of English poets was John Keats. He was born in London in the year 1795 Keats who became so famous later on, was not so bright and brilliant in his boyhood. He began his medical profession in 1810 as an apprentice to a doctor. But he gave up this medical profession after a few years in 1817. In the meantime, his innate and inherent love of literature made him study and learn greek and English literatures. Then Keats started writing poems of which 'Ode to a Nightingale','Ode to Autumn' and 'To One Who Has been Long In City Pent' deserve mention. But this great poet was unfortunately attacked with consumption. The disease was detected in 1820. As a result, his health broke down and he went to Italy to regain his lost health. But Keats could not recover from this dangerous disease and ultimately died a premature death there in 1821. Despite his short life, John Keats has been one of the finest poets England has ever produced.
