A Symphony of Senses: The Poetic Art of Keats and Rabindranath
Journal Title: International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research and Analysis - Year 2025, Vol 8, Issue 01
Abstract
This research article intricately explores the sensuousness in the selected works of two literary giants, John Keats (1795-1821) and Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) in a nutshell. Keats, renowned for his extraordinary ability to evoke sensual experiences, is widely regarded as a masterful exponent of sensuousness. His poetry is distinguished by vivid and evocative descriptions of nature, which underscore the profound connection between the human senses and the natural world. Through a nuanced analysis of Keats' poetic oeuvre, this study reveals the ways in which the poet skillfully employs sensuous language to transcend the boundaries of the physical world, creating a rich and immersive experience for the readers. Rabindranath, drawing inspiration from Keats' poetic legacy, also employs sensuous language in his poetry, deliberately appealing to the readers' senses in order to evoke a deeper, more visceral response. While Rabindranath's efforts to deploy sensuous language are notable, this study argues that Keats' mastery of sensuousness remains unparalleled, William Shakespeare (1564-1616) being the only other poet to demonstrate a comparable level of skill in this regard. By examining the sensuousness in the selected works of Keats and Rabindranath, this research article provides a deeper understanding of the role of sensory experience in poetry and the ways in which poets can harness the power of sensuous language on account of creating rich and immersive literary experiences. Ultimately, this scholarly endeavour presents a nuanced exploration of the poets' works, highlighting their unique contributions to the global literary landscape.
