12th Class English A Thing of Beauty - John Keats

  • question_answer 6)
    Do we experience things of beauty only for short moments or do they make a lasting impression on us?    

    Answer:

    Beauty is a quality in a thing or person that gives intense pleasure or deep satisfaction to the mind. Said another way, 'beauty' is a quality of a person, object, place, or idea that provides a perceptual experience of pleasure, affirmation, meaning, or goodness. Beauty, unlike love or friendship or even life, brings its own sweet reward. Beauty has inspired many throughout history. Beauty of nature has been celebrated by humans since time immemorial. Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is a symbolic as well as actual beauty in the migration of the birds, the ebb and flow of the tides, the folded bud ready for the spring. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature—the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after the winter. The lasting pleasures of contact with the natural world are available to anyone who will place himself under the influence of earth, sea, and sky and their amazing life. ft is believed that the foundations of the world are not in the experience of a conscious mind, but in the aesthetic experience of everyday life. According to Keats, things of beauty give eternal pleasure and dispel the misery in our soul. They do not fade away into nothingness; their beauty increases with time.
