The Romantic poets were a sensitive group of geniuses who broke from the classical tradition between 1780 and 1850. Their poetic expositions are widely read and researched by students in literature schools and universities around the world.The illustrious English Romantic poets in the mainstream were William Blake, William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, George Gordon Byron, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and John Keats. A chronological comparison between early Romantics, such as Blake, Wordsworth, and Coleridge, and later Romantics, including Byron, Shelley, and Keats, offers insight into themes such as elements of nature, love, beauty, emotion, and rebellion.Romantic poets in the bygone era were literary harbingers; nevertheless, in reality, they were prophets of romance, love, and beauty, underlying a collective theme of rebelling against the relegation of emotion to reason, denying the bounty of nature to generate the flow of extensive industrialization, and disbelief in the eternity of man's soul. Their poetic lineage was perpetuated through pilgrimages and spiritual journeys to immortalize the philosophy of love, beauty and elements of romanticism.It was romance in tryst with the imagination of divine forces. Samuel Taylor Coleridge's The Rime of the Ancient Mariner emphasizes the inculcation of moral values by absolving the speaker from a sense of guilt, leading to redemption and a meaningful life, and the sacredness behind our living standards. As known for his mystical insights, Coleridge intercedes: "He prayeth best, who loveth best/All things both great and small."Though John Keats suffered bouts of hypochondria - love sickness, he was undeniably a sensuous poet who expressed his angelic love ever flowing for his amorous lady, Fanny Brawne. Her absence during his sickness seemed unbearable, and he lamented through the open window to nature. Living his life under the misery of melancholia and condescension with the truth of beauty nurtured by nature, John Keats in the Ode on a Grecian Urn, declared: "Beauty is truth, truth beauty - that is all/Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know." Nature was his only trusted companion.Romanticism endures in the hearts of those who cherish love, beauty, and nature. It is an experience that revitalizes the soul, much like rain breathing life into a parched landscape. The spirit of Romanticism naturally gravitates toward the timeless presence of emotion, aesthetic wonder, and the natural world. Echoing the sentiment in Keats' Ode on a Grecian Urn, some still hold to the idea that 'Beauty is truth, truth beauty' - a reflection of the enduring Romantic quest for meaning through beauty.Authored by: Reuben Ray
