John Keats was a renowned English Romantic poet. This
being said, the natural characteristics of his poetry were formed in the characteristics
typical to the Romantic poet.
Romantics were inspired by
three things: nature, imagination, and intuition. This being said, one does not need to
look long at a Keats' poem to realize the impact nature had on him as a
poet.
In reference to the poem "Hyperion", the poem is
filled with natural imagery. The first three lines alone includes natural imagery which
proves the impact it had on him:
readability="8">
Deep in the shady saddness of a vale/ Far sunken
from the healthy breath of morn,/ Far from the firey noon, and Eve's one
star.
These lines speak to
the impact that nature, specifically the lack of light from the sun (Eve's star), one
can see the impact that nature has on the poet.
Many of
Keats' poems combined natural imagery with that of the function of a
poet.
This being said, I provided another way to answer
this question to another one of your posted questions. The answer to the other link can
