How John Keats Writes A Poem | Ode On A Grecian Urn

Dear Evan, please PLEASE do more video essays on poetry! They are some of your best and really I can't find another channel that manages to break down such literature in such a majestic way! And to be frank, your depictions are poetry of their own

John Keats is one of my favourite poets. No other poet was able to convey the power of beauty in relation to his life in such a powerful way. It's terrible that he died at 25 - we're so lucky to have been left with a body of work from him all the same

“A thing of beauty is a joy forever: its loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness.”

I’ll never forget my freshman year of college when I took my first college level literature class. On the very first day, the assistant professor spent the entire time breaking down The Second Coming by WB Yeats. Prior to that day, I felt as if I understood the draw of poetry. By the time the class finally ended 90 minutes later, I came to the shocking realization that I had no idea the magnitude of what I did not know about poetry. And even more than that, I was in awe of humanity and our ability to achieve greatness.

Absolutely unreal poet, Ode to a Nightingale is my favourite poem of his. He really gets an emotional rise out of me, I sometimes his stuff hits so hard I find myself crying. "Thou wast not born for death immortal bird, no hungry generations tread thee down" gets me every time Might you consider doing a video on Eliot? Your poetry videos are some of your best I think

John Keats definitely is one of the biggest influences I had on my "reading career". His work left a deep impact and I just adore it. I love to pick a poem from time to time and read it over an over again and just think about it for days. He made me fall in love with words and language.

These poetry essays are my favourite videos of yours, and I think the one on the Emily Dickinson poem might be my favourite video essay in general. It's always lovely to see these on my feed

This poem is so enchanting that ever since I have read it as a child it has stayed in my mind and to this day I quote from it in day to day life. It truly is a masterpiece by a master poet.

'ode on grecian urn' is my favourite poem ever and as I went to click on the video I wondered which poems the video would include, how happy I was when I realised it is entirely focused on 'ode on a grecian urn'. I love your analysis of it and how you express yourself. So good to know people like this exist, thank you.

I was just commenting last night with a friend of how much I love your videoessays about poetry, and of how dynamic the text appears on the screen. Thanks!!!

An ode to reality. Wonderfully written and analyzed.

Evan! This is my favorite Keats poem, and your analysis brings it to life in a new way. Thank you for this meta dive: of Keats into the urn, of you into Keats, and of us into your video 😆

I just want to express my deepest admiration for you. I've been following your channel for so long now that I eagerly wait for each video to come out. It is so inspiring that I can't express enough how much I've learn with this. So, thank you!

Best corner of YouTube

That’s the old Nerdwriter I fell in love with Welcome Back

"Inside the museum infinity goes up on trial, Voices echo, 'this is what salvation must look like after a while' Mona Lisa must've had the highway blues you can tell by the way she smiles!" -Bob Dylan, Visions of Johanna

What a profound breakdown. I am in awe of this channel. Great work!

The words of the poem explained surely bring much more enjoyment to the listener. Such well crafted verse! John Keats is surely at the top of poetic talent!
